Hello, I've used the Equal Columns Height script (v1.01) in my site and it works great keeping both columns equal, but when I try to print a page that is quite long it only prints one page and not the rest.

How can I get this to print all of the information?

Here's the script:
var ddequalcolumns=new Object()
//Input IDs (id attr) of columns to equalize. Script will check if each corresponding column actually exists:
ddequalcolumns.columnswatch=["leftcolumn", "subcontentsecondary", "maincontent", "maincontentindex", "leftcolumnindex", "pageheader", "maincontentsec"]

ddequalcolumns.setHeights=function(reset){
var tallest=0
var resetit=(typeof reset=="string")? true : false
for (var i=0; i<this.columnswatch.length; i++){
if (document.getElementById(this.columnswatch[i])!=null){
if (resetit)
document.getElementById(this.columnswatch[i]).style.height="auto"
if (document.getElementById(this.columnswatch[i]).offsetHeight>tallest)
tallest=document.getElementById(this.columnswatch[i]).offsetHeight
}
}
if (tallest>0){
for (var i=0; i<this.columnswatch.length; i++){
if (document.getElementById(this.columnswatch[i])!=null)
document.getElementById(this.columnswatch[i]).style.height=tallest+"px"
}
}
}

ddequalcolumns.resetHeights=function(){
this.setHeights("reset")
}

ddequalcolumns.dotask=function(target, functionref, tasktype){ //assign a function to execute to an event handler (ie: onunload)
var tasktype=(window.addEventListener)? tasktype : "on"+tasktype
if (target.addEventListener)
target.addEventListener(tasktype, functionref, false)
else if (target.attachEvent)
target.attachEvent(tasktype, functionref)
}

ddequalcolumns.dotask(window, function(){ddequalcolumns.setHeights()}, "load")
ddequalcolumns.dotask(window, function(){if (typeof ddequalcolumns.timer!="undefined") clearTimeout(ddequalcolumns.timer); ddequalcolumns.timer=setTimeout("ddequalcolumns.resetHeights()", 200)}, "resize")

Thanks so much in advance!!
