Abstract
The invention relates to a method for presenting a HTML document on a display on a mobile client terminal. The method comprises the steps of reformatting the HTML document by enforcing at least one client-side style sheet, thus adapting the width of the reformatted document to the width of the display, and presenting the reformatted document on the display. In particular, the step of reformatting the HTML document includes converting table cells in the HTML document to block-level elements. Image blocking/reduction and transformation of space characters is advantageously also employed in the reformatting step. The invention also relates to a mobile terminal and a computer program for performing the method.
