1. A method, comprising:
- requesting through a mobile device having a touch-sensitive display a Web page comprising HTML-based Web content defining an original page layout, functionality, and design for viewing on a commercially available desktop browser, said HTML-based Web content including HTML code for at least one form and multiple columns and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) content;
retrieving and processing at the mobile device the HTML-based Web content including the HTML code for the at least one form and the multiple columns and the CSS content to generate a scalable vector representation of the Web page;
rendering the Web page on the touch-sensitive display utilizing the scalable vector representation to produce a first view of the Web page at a first zoom level that preserves the original page layout, functionality and design defined by the HTML-based Web content including the at least one form and the multiple columns and the CSS content relative to the original page layout, functionality and design defined by the HTML-based Web content including the at least one form and the multiple columns and the CSS content when rendered by the commercially available desktop browser; and
re-rendering the Web page utilizing the scalable vector representation in response to associated user inputs to iteratively zoom in and out views of the Web page at multiple different zoom levels while preserving the original page layout, functionality, and design defined by the HTML-based Web content including the at least one form and the multiple columns and the CSS content relative to the original page layout, functionality and design defined by the HTML-based Web content including the at least one form and the multiple columns and the CSS content when rendered by the commercially available desktop browser.

Abstract
Mobile devices enabled to support resolution-independent scalable display of Internet (Web) content to allow Web pages to be scaled (zoomed) and panned for better viewing on smaller screen sizes. The mobile devices employ software-based processing of original Web content, including HTML-based content, XML, cascade style sheets, etc. to generate scalable content. The scalable content and/or data derived therefrom are then employed to enable the Web content to be rapidly rendered, zoomed, and panned. Display lists may also be employed to provide further enhancements in rendering speed. Context zooms, including tap-based zooms on columns, images, and paragraphs are also enabled.
