Same Height Columns

I have been reading that flexbox does not have bucket loads of browser support at the minute. I am creating a responsive site that has three cols all which need to have the same height.

Is 

#css-table { 
    display: table; 
}
#css-table .col { 
    display: table-cell; 
    width: 25%; 
    padding: 10px; 
}
#css-table .col:nth-child(even) { 
    background: #ccc;
}
#css-table .col:nth-child(odd) { 
    background: #eee;
}

all cool and groovy or is there a best practice that I should investigate?

Ok so where is this going wrong?

Using the above - I would have thought the cols would be the same height.

I can see your issue and can let you know that I had some trouble with this myself on another project. This article really helped me out. Take a look and see if any of those solutions work for you.

Cheers,

Bryan
