/*
Equal height columns with jQuery
by Dave Dash, http://spindrop.us/author/admin/

> $("#col1, #col2").equalizeCols();

will equalize the columns as expected

> $("#col1, #col2").equalizeCols("p,p");

will equalize the columns and add the extra space after the p tag in #col1 or
#col2 (whichever is shorter).
