This weekend, I wrote a set of code that makes all the footer widgets the same size dynamically, which is perfect for CSS styling. For example, if you wanted side borders on the footer widgets, you were either stuck with unequal vertical bars or setting the footer widgets a specific size for design purposes. However, with this code snippet, then you are good to go.
This code makes the footer widgets the same size if the browser is greater than 960px. If less, it drops it to { height: auto } for you to handle using media queries and other responsive code.
