I suppose.

Should browsers allow access to content which is placed 990 pixels
off-screen somewhere? Why or why not? It seems to me that whenever
you have to resort to something like that, it is a hack rather than a
feature.

*shrug* But, hey, if works for you, by all means. Just hope that it
continues to work well, which is one of the big problems with the
overly complex schemes we sometimes see in Web design. :)
