This is an attempt to manage the view of overflowing content with a JQuery Parallax Mechanism allowing the user to pan the page without scrolling. The parallax mechanism is usually reserved as a technique for enhancing the user interaction an image.

I hope that further investigation of this will result in a page panning design pattern that could be used as an alternative to browser scrolling. Another possbile advantage is the reduction of the Fitt’s Law influence. (The panning navigator is another design pattern that is based on the same principle.)
