element with the max height from a set of elements

Question

I have a set of div elements  In jQuery  I would like to be able to find out the div with the maximum height and also the height of that div  For instance    lt div       lt div class  panel         Line 1       Line 2      lt  div       lt div class  panel         Line 1 lt br  gt        Line 2 lt br  gt        Line 3 lt br  gt        Line 4 lt br  gt       lt  div       lt div class  panel         Line 1      lt  div       lt div class  panel         Line 1       Line 2      lt  div   lt div    By looking at the above  we know that the 2nd div  with 4 Lines  has the maximum height of all  How do I find this out  Could someone please help   So far I ve tried      div panel   height   which returns the height of the 1st div

Easiest and clearest way I d say is   var maxHeight   0  maxHeightElement   null      panel   each function       if    this  height    gt  maxHeight           maxHeight     this  height           maxHeightElement     this

If you were interested in sorting entirely in standard JavaScript  or without using forEach     var panels   document querySelectorAll  div panel        You ll need to slice the node list before using  map   var heights   Array prototype slice call panels  map function  panel           return an array to hold the item and its value     return  panel  panel offsetHeight           Returns a sorted array var sortedHeights   heights sort function a  b    return a 1   gt  b 1

The html that you posted should use some  lt br gt  to actually have divs with different heights  Like this    lt div gt       lt div class  panel  gt        Line 1 lt br gt        Line 2      lt  div gt       lt div class  panel  gt        Line 1 lt br gt        Line 2 lt br gt        Line 3 lt br gt        Line 4      lt  div gt       lt div class  panel  gt        Line 1      lt  div gt       lt div class  panel  gt        Line 1 lt br gt        Line 2      lt  div gt   lt  div gt    Apart from that  if you want a reference to the div with the max height you can do this   var highest   null  var hi   0      panel   each function      var h     this  height      if h  gt  hi        hi   h       highest     this                   highest now contains the div with the highest so lets highlight it highest css  background-color    red

Use  map   and Math max   var maxHeight   Math max apply null     div panel   map function          return   this  height       get         If that s confusing to read  this might be clearer   var heights      div panel   map function                  return   this  height           get     maxHeight   Math max apply null  heights

If you want to reuse in multiple places   var maxHeight   function elems       return Math max apply null  elems map function                  return   this  height           get         Then you can use   maxHeight    some selector
