I am wondering how to make a liquid(15%,70%,15%) 3 column css layout have dynamic equal height columns where each column matches the height of the longest column dynamically(in other words: according to content in each column, if column 1 is longer than 2 and 3, then columns 2 and 3 should automatically be the same height as column 1) Is there a way to accomplish this, I have looked at the holy grail: http://alistapart.com/article/holygrail and it says that it does not work with equal height columns. I am wondering if I can modify my css code to do exactly that.

HTML Page:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="page.css">
<title>Sample</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="headerwrap">
<div id="header">
<p>This is the header.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="contentliquid"><div id="contentwrap">
<div id="content">
<p>This is the center column. Please make me the same height as everyone else!</p>
</div>
</div></div>
<div id="leftcolumnwrap">
<div id="leftcolumn">
<p>This is the left column. Please make me the same height as everyone else!</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="rightcolumnwrap">
<div id="rightcolumn">
<p>This is the right column. Please make me the same height as everyone else!</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footerwrap">
<div id="footer">
<p>This is the footer.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Is there a way to make all columns the same height dynamically?
