[wp-hackers] splitting dynamic_sidebar()

[Paul]

My thought instead of trying to figure how many widgets go across the row of the footer and forcing a break. Why not add some JS which will set the height of all those widgets to the same. That way they will 'flow' to the next row as needed. 

Here is some jQuery I put together for a Property listing prototype for a client

// Spin through all the class items. Figure out the tallest. 
var grid_cell_max_height = 0;
jQuery('.portfolio div.property-summary').each(function() {
	var cells_height = jQuery(this).height();
	
	if (cells_height > grid_cell_max_height)
		grid_cell_max_height = cells_height;
});

// Now set all to the same height. 
jQuery('.portfolio div.property-summary').each(function() {
	var cells_height = jQuery(this).height(grid_cell_max_height);
});
