Use case

If you are using HTML5 drag and want to drop into an element not visible in the viewport,
it is not possible on most browsers. On Google Chrome you can. Moving the dragged element
near the top or bottom of the viewport will scroll the page. But other browsers don't do
that. With this library, you now can.
