Tweaking Column Height Javascript

[johanna0507]

First of all, I am new to Javascript and plan to learn it... But for the time being I am an extreme newbie, so please be patient!

I am using this script to set my columns to the same height. It works fine, but I need to make the right hand column 300 px longer!

   <!--Javascript to make the length of columns equal	-->
	<script src="http://www.vikingprincess.net/x.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	function adjustLayout()
	{ // Get natural heights
	  var cHeight = xHeight("contentcontent");
	  var lHeight = xHeight("leftcontent");
	  var rHeight = xHeight("rightcontent");
	  // Find the maximum height
	  var maxHeight =
		Math.max(cHeight, Math.max(lHeight, rHeight));
	  // Assign maximum height to all columns
	  xHeight("content", maxHeight);
	  xHeight("left", maxHeight);
	  xHeight("right", maxHeight);
	  <?php $currentheight=maxHeight?>
	  // Show the footer
	  xShow("footer");}
	window.onload = function()
	{  xAddEventListener(window, "resize",
		adjustLayout, false);
	  adjustLayout();}
	</script>
</head>

Can I achieve it with a simple change?

Hi,
Think you might do better using a faux column css styling instead?
The left full height, follows the center: Look Very closely:
