Align 2 DIV per line, both the with the same height - html

Question

We have a problem where we need to have a list of divs with dynamic content.
There will always be 2 divs per row. Both of those elements should have the same height.
Currently we have a solution which sets the height of the boxes with JavaScript, but it's not very performant, since it recalculates the sizes on every resize (Responsive design).
Is there a solution without fixed height values?
Important: The boxes still need to be padded, and the padding needs to be in percent (currently 4% margin on div)
Jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/6dmwU/
<div class="boxes">
<div class="box-wrapper">
<div class="box" style="height: 203px;">
<p class="box-title">Lorem Vulputate</p>
<p>On corerias sunturero in cullabore dolestionet apid utatur On corerias sunturero in cullabore dolestionet apid utatur</p>
</div>
<div class="box" style="height: 203px;">
<p class="box-title">Egestas Pharetra</p>
<p>On corerias sunturero in cullabore dolestionet apid utatur</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="box-wrapper">
<div class="box" style="height: 151px;">
<p class="box-title">Vulputate Egestas</p>
<p>On corerias sunturero in cullabore dolestionet apid utatur</p>
</div>
<div class="box" style="height: 151px;">
<p class="box-title">Egestas Pharetra</p>
<p>On corerias sunturero in cullabore dolestionet apid utatur</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Any help will be very appreciated

Answer 1

You can use a flex model for this:
.boxes .box
{
margin-left: 2%;
margin-bottom: 2%;
width: 50%;
padding: 4%;
border: 1px solid #b6b6b6;
border: 0.0625rem solid #b6b6b6;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.box-wrapper
{
width: 100%;
display: -webkit-box;
display: -moz-box;
display: -webkit-flexbox;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
}
jsFIddle
This way every row will be the height of the highest child element.
However the support for this is limited.
So if you rather not use this method you can transform you structure in a table structure. This way every row will be the height of the highest child element.
.boxes .box
{
display: table-cell;
margin-left: 2%;
margin-bottom: 2%;
width: 50%;
padding: 4%;
border: 1px solid #b6b6b6;
border: 0.0625rem solid #b6b6b6;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.box-wrapper
{
display: table-row;
}
.boxes
{
display: table;
border-collapse: separate;
border-spacing: 5px;
}
Because margin doesn't work between table-cells i used border-spacing to define the seperation between the cells.

Try this
.boxes .box {
float: left;
margin-left: 2%;
margin-bottom: 2%;
width: 38%;
padding: 4%;
border: 1px solid #b6b6b6;
border: 0.0625rem solid #b6b6b6;
box-sizing: border-box;
display:inline-block

.box-wrapper,.boxes{

}
