Claim:
A method comprising: identifying a first element associated with a rendered document, the first element having focus; receiving an indication of a horizontal directional input; identifying a second focusable element that is within a display area of the document; determining a display midpoint of the first element; determining a display midpoint of the second focusable element; determining whether the display midpoint of the second focusable element is at a horizontal distance in a direction indicated by the directional input from the display midpoint of the first element; in an event that the display midpoint of the second focusable element is at a horizontal distance in a direction indicated by the directional input from the display midpoint of the first element, identifying the second focusable element as a candidate to receive focus in response to the directional input; and determining that a top point of the second focusable element is above a top point of the first element such that the vertical distance between the top point of the second focusable element and the top point of the first element is less than or equal to a tolerance value, wherein the tolerance value comprises a height of the first element divided by four.
