Enhanced display of interactive elements in a browser

A method, comprising:

• displaying a document at an initial scale in a first view on a touchscreen display, the document comprising a plurality of interactive elements;
• detecting a starting touch input initiating a contact on the touchscreen display at a first touch point, the first touch point having an initial position within the first view;
• determining whether the initial position is within a disambiguation region for the plurality of interactive elements;
• when the initial position is determined to be within the disambiguation region:
• while the contact is maintained on the touchscreen display,
• displaying a region of the document at an enlarged scale in a second view, the region initially being defined by the initial position and including the plurality of interactive elements;
• and
• detecting a further touch input initiating a further contact on the touchscreen display at a second touch point within the second view, a position of the second touch point corresponding to one of the plurality of interactive elements displayed in the second view;
• and
• in response to the further touch input, selecting the corresponding one of the plurality of interactive elements, and automatically initiating an interaction function with the selected interactive element.

An electronic device, including:

• a touchscreen display;
• and
• a processor in communication with the touchscreen display, the processor being configured to be capable of:
• displaying a document at an initial scale in a first view on a touchscreen display, the document comprising a plurality of interactive elements;
• detecting a starting touch input initiating a contact on the touchscreen display at a touch point, the touch point having an initial position within the first view;
• determining whether the initial position is within a disambiguation region for the plurality of interactive elements;
• when the initial position is determined to be within the disambiguation region:
• while the contact is maintained on the touchscreen display,
• displaying a region of the document at an enlarged scale in a second view, the region initially being defined by the initial position and including the plurality of interactive elements;
• detecting a moving touch input within the first view indicating movement of the touch point from the initial position to a final position;
• and
• detecting an ending touch input at the final position, the ending touch input ending the contact on the touchscreen display;
• and
• in response to the ending touch input, identifying one of the plurality of interactive elements corresponding to the final position, and automatically initiating an interaction function with the identified one of the plurality of interactive elements.
