No, unfortunately border zero has no effect.

I usually remove the viewport border in IE by:

html {
border: 0;
}

Does this remove the 2px offset as well?

I think this is because of the different box models between quirks and strict modes. The viewport border is 2px wide.

They should try this for line 3 instead:
var cursor = {x:0, y:0};
The spontaneous generation of globals has got to be one of the most annoying things about JavaScript.
Anyway, thanks for the tip/link on cursor positioning.
