You have set up the left clip edge to the right of the right clip edge.
This works (leaving 160px visible):

      <input type="button" style="background-color: lightblue" value="Set
Clipped Left and Right"
       onclick="setClip('auto', (window.innerWidth / 2 + 80) + 'px',
                        'auto', (window.innerWidth / 2 - 80) + 'px')">
      </input>
