It's just an auxiliary scrolling device. There's still the scroll bar.

That was okay for an isolated instance, but expanding upon it, adding
links and such, would be difficult to do in a standards-compliant way.
Had I known you were going to want links into the image-container, I
would have approached the situation differently and probably advocated
server-side methods to accomplish that. Still, it's impossible to
retain the established scroll-height without javascript.

Anyway, here is my last effort of this "project":
