1) Uploaded module to sites/all/modules
2) Activated module
3) Went to admin/settings/equalheights and under CSS classes I put .column

OK, everything in lining up, but the footer is suddenly bumped way down the page?
BTW I am using a Zen-based theme.

Thank you.

Katharine the problem on your site seems to be that you have an empty second sidebar at the bottom that also has the .column css property. Depending on the theme you are using you might be able to not have a second sidebar or you could use a module like skinr to give specific css classes to the elements you want on an equal height.
I see on your site the following blank space pushing your footer down (using firebug):

BY THE WAY: I was not able to make this module work until I read your thread and realised I had to add a dot in front of the css .class, so thank you for posting this!

I think I'm going to remove the '.' from the next versions since it seems to cause confusion.

Thank you both so much for your prompt help!
Yes I banged my head against that "." for a while.

Sorry to revisit this issue...

There seems to be some sort of conflict between the equalheights module and how the Zen starter theme handles the regions and classes? All three regions (sidebar-first, content, sidebar-second) have the class "column"...

When Equalheights is OFF, the first and second sidebar are fine, line up properly, not a problem.

However, when I turn Equalheights ON, the second sidebar suddenly pops down below the main content area. If it's empty all of the time, this is not a problem on the site although it looks pretty weird on the admin/build/blocks page.

However, if I actually put any blocks in the second sidebar, it will pop down below the content area.

Is Equalheights incompatible with a 3-column layout?

I've used it with Zen before. You might want to change the class from '.column' to something else and see if it helps.
