There is a page that outlines a variety of methods for getting
multiple elements to have the same height on the css-discuss wiki:

http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=AnyColumnLongest

IMHO, doing this with pure CSS still seems to be a tricky,
pitfall-laced area. In my recent work I've tended to use js-based
solutions for this, because it helps me avoid trips to the pharmacy
for painkillers. :)

(As an aside, I just tried to edit the wiki to add a new fave js-based
method, Paul Bellow's CSS Balanced Columns[1], to the page, but for
some reason my change wasn' sticking. Anyone have any ideas why it
might not be "taking"?)
