javascript - find the height of a div and change the current div height to match -

i'm trying make div same height parent (if parent larger) or make parent same height current div (if current div larger)

here's i've got far

$(this).parents().find('.address').slidetoggle(function() {     $(this).parent().height($(this).parent().find('.address').height()) })

sample html:

<div id="parent" style="height:500px;border:1px solid #000000">     <div id="child" style="height:300px;border:1px solid #000000">child</div> </div> 

javascript:

 jquery(document).ready(function() {                  var $parentdiv = $('#parent');                  var $childdiv = $('#child');                         if($childdiv.height() > $parentdiv.height())                       $childdiv.css('height', $parentdiv.height());                                 else                      $parentdiv.css('height', $childdiv.height());           });
