A method comprising:
- displaying a first display element on a display, the first display element configured to invoke a command to cause display of a second display element;
- invoking the command to cause display of the second display element, the second display element being subordinate to the first display element and selectable via user input;
- responsive to receiving the user input at the first display element:
- displaying the second display element concurrently with the first display element on the display;
- visually associating the first display element and the second display element by changing a size of the first display element from a first size to a second size during the concurrent display;
- and
- blocking the first display element from responding to user input during the concurrent display;
- and
- displaying, at the second display element, dynamic information that corresponds to content associated with the first display element.
