What I mean is that, whenever I move the horizontal slider of the first
browser, the horizontal slider of the second browser should automatically
moved by the same amount such that column description (browser 1) and
data fields (browser 2) are always vertically aligned. Browser 1 and 2
have the same width and 1 is located on top of 2.
