1. A method for displaying web page content on an electronic device, the web page content including at least one column of text, comprising:
- calculating a zoom factor for the at least one column;
determining a text size in the at least one column based on the zoom factor;
comparing the determined text size to a reference text size; and
changing a column width of the at least one column if the determined text size is less than the reference text size.

Abstract
A system and method for rendering web page column widths in an adaptive manner for display on an electronic device. The system and method can display individual columns of a web page in a zoom-in view and can display web pages with multiple columns in a zoom-out view. Columns are adaptively rendered such that text in the columns is readable after zooming-in on the column. The system and method avoids the need for side-to-side scrolling of a column displayed in a zoom-in view and minimizes column narrowing.
