Abstract:
1. A computer program product comprising one or more computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions for implementing a method in a web-accessing client system in communication with at least one server system, the client system including a display device, wherein the method provides a user interface for enabling a user to access the at least one server system, the method comprising: receiving a Web page image from the at least one server system, wherein the Web page image has a horizontal dimension that is larger than a horizontal dimension of the display device, and wherein the Web page image comprises a hypertext icon having an address; scaling down the Web page image horizontally and vertically according to a scaling factor, that is defined by only the amount of scaling necessary to fit the Web page within the horizontal dimension of the display device, wherein the scaling produces a scaled hypertext icon; displaying the scaled Web page image on the display device within a display environment, such that the entire horizontal dimension of the Web page image is visible within the horizontal dimension of the display device without horizontal scrolling; receiving a user input specifying scaled icon coordinates that correspond to the scaled hypertext icon; up scaling the scaled icon coordinates to produce icon coordinates, wherein up scaling the scaled icon coordinates is based on dividing the scaled icon coordinates by the scaling factor; and transmitting the icon coordinates to one of the plurality of server systems to access information corresponding to the address of the hypertext icon.
