I was able to resolve everything but the function needed to reverse 
the image when it floats outside of the browser window.

I currently have two variables that are used to define the x and y 
axis points. "IE -- The distance from the mouse cursor.

I could use some help writting a function that dynamically rewrites 
these "x and y" variables so that if the popup image floats outside of
the browser window function "reverse image will load and rewrite the
values.

Could anyone give some ideas on how I can start this process?
I've never seen anything that handles this type of work and my
javascript skills are relatively new.

Thank You
Kevin
