I recognized I was mistaken when I thought my multiple, parallel div columns matched heights. I knew too well it was the background color of my base div hid the failure as the columns changed heights. However, it was more than simple inertia delayed efforts my correcting this too visible flaw in the menu pages. A myriad of other perplexing issues monopolized my attention. Moreover, I thought I had simple solutions stored on my system utilizing seemingly very straight forward javascript code. Furthermore, the problem of matching column heights seemed to be a well understood problem with its solution documented. Or so I thought, until my browser crashed losing all the code samples, irretrievably. I soon learned the solution was not so simple. I ended up developing my own code. Oh yes, welcome to the strange world of Javascript.
I think the difficulties described here is not a failing of JavaScript, but rather a failing of HTML/CSS. Such a simple thing should not require hacks to accomplish.
If the author thinks that using JavaScript is a sin, but used it anyway as a fix... then he might as well have gone ahead and committed another sin and used tables for that layout.
JS itself is actually rather decent, but it hampered by implementation quirks between browsers.
