Maintain equal height on resize (jQuery)

Question

I use this code for equalizing columns:

jQuery.fn.equalHeight=function() {
var maxHeight=0;
this.each(function(){
 if (this.offsetHeight>maxHeight) {maxHeight=this.offsetHeight;}
});
this.each(function(){
 $(this).height(maxHeight + "px");
 if (this.offsetHeight>maxHeight) {
  $(this).height((maxHeight-(this.offsetHeight-maxHeight))+"px");
 }
});
};

..does a decent job, but I have an accordion menu in one of those columns which slides in/out changing the height of the column, equalheight doesn't play nice with it. Is it possible to equalize the columns each time they're resized?

Thanks heaps!

Okay, this works great cross-browser:

(function($) {

    $.fn.equalHeight = function(){
     var height = 0,
      reset = $.browser.msie ? "1%" : "auto";

     return this
      .css("height", reset)
      .each(function() {
       height = Math.max(height, this.offsetHeight);
      })
      .css("height", height)
      .each(function() {
       var h = this.offsetHeight;
       if (h > height) {
        $(this).css("height", height - (h - height));
       };
      });

    };

})(jQuery);
