Abstract
A computerized method for operating a zoom function in a web browser is described. The method uses a user's computer to access a network; operate a web browser; and control the operation of a method for performing a zoom function within the web browser. The zoom function presents to the user an icon which directly controls the zoom function for a webpage displayed in an active window. The zoom icon indicates a current zoom factor and where a single selection of the zoom icon directly causes the web browser to perform several actions. The actions include changing the current zoom factor for the webpage displayed in the active window and updating the zoom icon to indicate the zoom factor. Changing the zoom factor enlarges a viewed area or makes it smaller, thereby improving the rendering of information that may be too small or too large to be useful.
