Question

<div class="left_and_right">
    <div class="left"> .. something .. </div>
    <div class="right"> .. something .. </div>
    <div class="left"> .. something .. </div>
    <div class="right"> .. something .. </div>
    <div class="left"> .. something .. </div>
    <div class="right"> .. something .. </div>
</div>

say I have a main div with alternating three left and right divs.
What I’d like to do is:

when page is loaded, set width of each “left” to its ‘right’.

so, I tried:
$("div[class=left]").attr('height', $(this).next().attr('height'))

which doesn’t work.

What is proper way to find a element’s sibling and use its attributes?

Answer 1

$("div.left").each(function(){
    $(this).height($(this).next().height());
});
