Question 1

How do I update jquery match height after loading content via AJAX?

Accepted Answer

You need to manually call $.fn.matchHeight._update() after the AJAX content is inserted to refresh the equal heights. This is documented in the known limitations section, as the plugin doesn't auto-detect content changes.

Question 2

Is jquery match height better than CSS flexbox for equal heights?

Accepted Answer

For modern browsers, CSS flexbox is preferred as it's native and doesn't require JavaScript. However, jquery-match-height is useful for older browser support (like IE8+) or when you need row-aware matching in complex floated layouts, as noted in the README's modern browsers section.

Question 3

Can jquery match height work with Bootstrap's grid system?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can be applied to Bootstrap grid elements to equalize heights across columns, but ensure no conflicting CSS transitions are present. Use the data API or JavaScript initialization as described in the usage section.

Question 4

How to remove equal heights binding with jquery match height?

Accepted Answer

Use $('.item').matchHeight({ remove: true }) to remove all bindings for the selected elements, as explained in the advanced usage section. This is helpful when dynamically modifying layouts.

Question 5

Why isn't jquery match height updating when I resize the window?

Accepted Answer

Check if the throttling setting is too high or if there are CSS issues. You can adjust $.fn.matchHeight._throttle for faster updates, but be mindful of performance trade-offs, as mentioned in the advanced usage on throttling.

Question 6

Does jquery match height support setting min-height instead of height?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can set the property option to 'min-height' when initializing the plugin, allowing for flexible height matching without forcing exact heights, as detailed in the options section.
