Abstract
The present disclosure involves methods, systems, and devices, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing a generic refresh of displayed content on computing devices, e.g., handheld devices. In one aspect, a method comprises displaying on a screen of the device a content area and a tab area comprising at least one tab. The content area is being refreshed upon receiving an activation of the tab followed by a command associated to a dragging of the tab towards a center of the screen followed by a command associated to a release of the tab, wherein the command associated to a dragging of the tab towards the center of the screen is received while receiving the activation of the tab. In some instances, the refreshing of the content area causes the content area to display updated web content associated to the tab.
