This is common, but has trade offs (you can't vertically scroll the page at the same time you scroll the pane). Also keep in mind many new PCs have touchscreens, unlike Macs, allowing intuitive scrolling on PC displays. | |

Is it as easy, for instance, to scroll in any direction on a device one might use with Windows? (Logitech mice, etc) On a Mac, it's a thoughtless swipe in any direction. I don't want to burden the user and discourage them from using the site. | |
