Same height elements

I'm trying to set the height of two divs which will be the height of tallest div

This is what I've tried so far:

HTML:

<div id="left">
    1. SOME TEXT HERE
</div>
<div id="right">
    <input type="radio" name="Group1" /> <font size="1.5px">NO</font>
    <input type="radio" name="Group1" /> <font size="1.5px">YES</font>
    <br />
    <div class="textToRight">
        <font size="1.5px">Text:</font> 
        <input type="text" class="boxAlignRight22" />
    </div>
</div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>

CSS:

#left {
    margin-top:5px;
    margin-left:1.4%;
    float:left;
    background:#FFFFFF;
    width:59.8%;
    text-align:left;
    padding:5px;
}

#right {
    margin-top:5px;
    margin-right:1.4%;
    float:right;
    background:#FFFFFF;
    width:34.8%;
    padding:1.5px 5px 1.5px 5px;
    text-align:left;
}

use javascript to make it very dynamic then, u can use jquery also to shorten this jQuery: $('#right').css.height($('#left').css.height()) this is to make same right side height equal to left side

using some script:

<head>

<style>
#content{
height:auto;
}
#left {
margin-top:5px;
margin-left:1.4%;
float:left;
background:#938922;
width:59.8%;
text-align:left;
padding:5px;

}

#right {
margin-top:5px;
margin-right:1.4%;
float:right;
background:#514261;
width:34.8%;
padding:1.5px 5px 1.5px 5px;
text-align:left;

}
</style>
<script>
function load()
{
var leftcont = document.getElementById('left');
var rightcont = document.getElementById('right');
var lh = leftcont.offsetHeight;
var rh = rightcont.offsetHeight;
if (rh>lh)  leftcont.style.height = rightcont.style.height=rh;
else       leftcont.style.height = rightcont.style.height=lh;
}
</script>
</head><body onload='load()'>
<div id ="content">
<div id="left">
1. SOME TEXT HERE
</div>
<div id="right">
<input type="radio" name="Group1" /> <font size="1.5px">NO</font>
<input type="radio" name="Group1" /> <font size="1.5px">YES</font>
<br />
<div class="textToRight">
    <font size="1.5px">Text:</font> 
    <input type="text" class="boxAlignRight22" />
</div>
</div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>
</body>

Try using some manipulation effect.

Here is the link for the perfect example.

You may do this by putting the height of both to 'auto'.
