Columnizer adds arbitrary width to target

[mumik]

Whether I call it with number of columns greater than one, or with column width, columnizer acts strangely. It adds many more columns than in parameter and most of them are empty. Additionaly it adds some huge width parameter to the div containing columns. I've tried different parameters and different styling of the containing div, but it changes nothing. Here is the page I'm working on: http://portal-new.mimuw.edu.pl/

Update: currently I've managed to make it to just two columns but the first one stays empty for no apparent reason.

thanks for reporting, definitely something odd going on in columnizer. i'll work on getting a fix out asap

I've found the problem. I had set fixed height of the columns in the css, so the script couldn't check changing height of it. Two things would help avoid such situations:

1. script changing column height to auto prior to filling it
2. styling guidelines for columns and container

Thanks for your fast response :)

glad you got it fixed! changing height to auto is a great idea, i'll add that in
