[Javascript] Any creative way to pull html contentsamewayjsfilesare pulled

[dlovering at gazos.com (David Lovering)]

The 'move-around-a-big-pane-just-like-Acrobat' window effect can be achieved
by using a rather complex interlinkage of window.offset attribute changes
tied to the cursor 'pegging out' on the window boundaries.  The
'hand-drag-the-whole-window' function can be achieved (in theory) by
window.moveTo and window.moveBy directives, again linked to the mouse-drag
events.

The mechanics are somewhat brutal, as you have to update the screen geometry
on the same timescale as a keyboard/mouse-button debounce (roughly 50ms).

However, I'm ressurecting my memories of how to do it, and may be able to
hack something together over the next few days.  It is just close enough to
being impossible to interest me.  [I specialize in the impossible].
