I searched the available questions but didn't find a solution.

I'm trying to set the height of all elements of a horizontal overflow container to be equal to the height of the longest element.

body {
    
}
section{
    width: 300px;
    background: lightblue;
    overflow: auto;
    white-space: nowrap;
}
div{
    display: inline-block ;
    max-width: 150px;
    background: lightgreen;
    margin: 5px;
    white-space: normal;
    
    /* not working */
    height: 100%;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Page Title</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <section>
            <div>
                hi there how are you push just IV by Rd hi TX cu

            <div>

            </div>
        </section>
    </body>
</html>

As you can see, the second div is the longest. The other div should be equal to the second div. Also, I don't need a fixed height.

You can use Flex layout.

section{
  width: 300px;
  background: lightblue;
  overflow: auto;
  white-space: nowrap;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
}
div{
  display: inline-block ;
  max-width: 150px;
  background: lightgreen;
  margin: 5px;
  white-space: normal;
  height: 100%;
}

Set min-width on divs so that its parent flex cannot be wrapped.

section {
  display: flex; /* new */
  flex-wrap: nowrap; /* new */
  width: 300px;
  background: lightblue;
  overflow: auto;
}

div {
  min-width: 150px; /* new */
  background: lightgreen;
  margin: 5px;
}
