How do I keep two side-by-side divs the same height?

Question

I have two divs side by side. I\'d like the height of them to be the same, and stay the same if one of them resizes. I can\'t figure this one out though. Ideas?

you can use jQuery to achieve this easily.

CSS

.left, .right {border:1px solid #cccccc;}

jQuery

$(document).ready(function() {
    var leftHeight = $('.left').height();
    $('.right').css({'height':leftHeight});
});

HTML
