element with the max height from a set of elements

by

Use .map() and Math.max.

var maxHeight = Math.max.apply(null, $("div.panel").map(function ()
{
    return $(this).height();
}).get());

If that’s confusing to read, this might be clearer:

var heights = $("div.panel").map(function ()
    {
        return $(this).height();
    }).get();

maxHeight = Math.max.apply(null, heights);
