Hey Madison,

I don't know if I totally understand what you want, but you can scroll a
window by using the window.scrollBy(dx,dy) dx being the number of pixels
to scroll to the right and dy the number of pixels down.  There is also
the window.scrollTo(x,y).  x is the x-coordinate to appear at the left
edge and y is the y-coordinate that appears at the top of the window. 
As for the adding tables dynamically with js, you can use an elements
innerHTML, innerText and there are a few others...but they can't be done
until the page has fully loaded.  Hope that helps.

Later
