Abstract
A system, apparatus, and method for navigation between sub-frames of a hypertext document and hyperlinks contained within the sub-frames are provided for mobile devices without pointing capability. A first mode of screen navigation renders the hypertext document into sub-frames, where each sub-frame is accessed using navigation commands. A second mode of screen navigation uses normal rendering mode, whereby a scrolling window is used to display the active portion of the hypertext document. Whether the first or the second mode of screen navigation is used, a hyperlink navigation mode may be initiated once the frame of interest is located. Similar navigational inputs are then used to navigate between the hyperlinks contained within the frame of interest.
