[Javascript] animation algorithm

[Anthony Ettinger]

I have a pretty simple idea to pan an element within it's parent.

I'm having trouble coming up with an algorithm that would ease in/out
of the far left or far right position, relative to it's parent.

I want a basic bell curve, but am having a heck of a time getting my
calculations correct.

the variables I have to work with are positions of the mouse, the
static container element and it's width, and the position of the child
element that will be moved and it's width.

Please help.
