Swipe left/right on JS Form

Hi again,

I thought I would try one last thing and as a result was able to answer
my own question.  Just adding the following line in the $init
   “Calculate $cwind.$objs.InnerPagedPane.$width as
$cwind.$objs.InnerPagedPane.$width-1
… seems to make it all hunky-dory.

I will let you all know if I get it all working because hopefully it’s a
pretty cool UX!

Cheers,
Reg
