Excellent question, Paul.
My recommendation is to call $(elems).equalizeCols() anytime that you
show/hide/update content in one of the columns.
A slightly more difficult issue is how to handle text resizing in the
browser. So far, the only way I've found to deal with that is to use
the jQem plugin:
http://davecardwell.co.uk/geekery/javascript/jquery/jqem/0.2/
Then do something like this to resize the cols if the browser font
size changes:
$(document).ready(function() {
$.jqem.init();
$.jqem.bind( function() {
$(elems).equalizeCols();
});
});
So far, this technique seems to work pretty well for me.
