resize div height

Hello, I've wrote small javascript that resize height of the div tags. It works perfectly in FF and Opera, but IE has something against it. After resizing height, IE also resize width, and I don't want to change width. Can somebody help, please? Here is the code:

window.onload = adjustLayout;
function adjustLayout(){

var leftColumn = document.getElementById("leftColumn");
var rightColumn = document.getElementById("rightColumn");

var leftColumnHeight = leftColumn.offsetHeight;
var rightColumnHeight = rightColumn.offsetHeight;

if(leftColumnHeight > rightColumnHeight) {
var maxHeight = leftColumnHeight;
} else {
var maxHeight = rightColumnHeight;
}

alert('left ' + leftColumnHeight + ' right ' + rightColumnHeight);

leftColumn.style.height = maxHeight - 2 + 'px';
rightColumn.style.height = maxHeight - 2 + 'px';
}
</script>

Here is the HTML:

<body>
<div id="leftColumn">
