Responsive box grid with bootstrap-4 different box heights

Question

I tried to make a responsive grid of 6 textboxes with the box class and bootstrap.

My problem is , that with different amount of text in it the box they have different widths / heights, but i want them to have the same max-height / max-width as the box with the most text in it.

Is there a chance to get this done without hard-coding the width / height for all boxes?

Here's a code snippet:

/***** Box *****/

.flex-box {
  position: relative;
  text-align: center;
  margin-top: 10px;
  margin-right: auto;
  margin-bottom: ;
  margin-left: auto;
  padding: 40px;
  transition: all 0.3s ease;
  background-color: rgb(170, 230, 255);
}

.flex-box:hover {
  margin-top: 5px;
  margin-bottom: 5px;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0 2px 5px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
  -moz-box-shadow: 0 2px 5px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
  box-shadow: 0 2px 5px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
}

<!-- Textbox-Sections -->
<section id="about_me" class="section-padding title">
  <div class="container-fluid">

As @Abhijeet stated it is only possible to use css if the boxes are horizontally aligned. Otherwise you can use this jQuery snippet:

var max_height = 0;
var max_width = 0;
$('.equal-size').each(function(e) {
  h = $(this).height();
  if(typeof(h) != "undefined") {
   if(h > max_height) {
     max_height = h;
   }
  }
  w = $(this).width();
  if(typeof(w) != "undefined") {
   if(w > max_width) {
     max_width = w;
   }
  }
});
if(max_height > 0) {
  $('.equal-size').height(max_height);
}
if(max_width > 0) {
  $('.equal-size').width(max_width);
}

You need to give the elements the class equal-size.

It is looking for the max height/width and applying it to every element.

---

This is only working if you have only one group of elements that should have same height/width. If you have more you need to give the group numbers and change the classes appropriately (equal-size-1, equal-size-2, ...) and use this snippet:

var numberOfGroups = 2;
for(var i=1; i<numberOfGroups+1; i++) {
    var max_height = 0;
    var max_width = 0;
    $('.equal-size-'+String(i)).each(function(e) {
      h = $(this).height();
      if(typeof(h) != "undefined") {
       if(h > max_height) {
         max_height = h;
       }
      }
      w = $(this).width();
      if(typeof(w) != "undefined") {
       if(w > max_width) {
         max_width = w;
       }
      }
    });
    if(max_height > 0) {
      $('.equal-size-'+String(i)).height(max_height);
    }
    if(max_width > 0) {
      $('.equal-size-'+String(i)).width(max_width);
    }
}

I don't think that is possible with only with css but yes if you are making these boxes vertical I mean one to each other then definitely its possible but not horizontally. Same height possible in the grid if section are align one to each other like --

Answer 3

Just make the .flex-box height:100% so that it fills the col-*...

https://codepen.io/anon/pen/GQORQV?editors=1100

.flex-box {
  position: relative;
  text-align: center;
  margin-top: 10px;
  margin-right: auto;
  margin-bottom:;
  margin-left: auto;
  padding: 40px;
  height: 100%;
  transition: all 0.3s ease;
  background-color: rgb(170, 230, 255);
}
