Match Length with CSS and JavaScript

Two samples are provided for this isse ...

tlanet.net/1.html - attempt to match heights with CSS
tlanet.net/2.html - match height with CSS and JavaScript

The second example correctly calulates the size of a Div to match another
Div that varies from page to page.

This solution works in Internet Explorer and Opera but not Firefox and
Netscape.

Can you tell me why?

Thanks.,

.... Thom

Testing your JavaScript revealed that you are setting {element}.height =
128, which is incorrect JavaScript.

Try changing it to {element}.height = {value}+"px" and see how that line
of code works.

It also appears that the height you end up setting to the element via
JavaScript is not what you want it to be...

Yes ... I discovered that in parallel to your reply ...

IE and Opera accept it with or without the "px"
Firefox and Netscape require that the "px" be present.

Thank you for the help.
