max height for jQuery

// max height for columns using jQuery
// Unfortunately css does not support this natively, sometimes when creating column based 
// layouts it looks so much better if the columns aligned by height, so here is the easy way 
// of doing this.

var max_height = 0;  
  
$("div.col").each(function(){  
   if ($(this).height() > max_height) { max_height = $(this).height(); }  
});  
  
$("div.col").height(max_height);
