Abstract
A structured screen display process presents structured information that includes a plurality of selectable and non-selectable elements on any width screen display so that the user is able to see as many of the elements as possible at once, and is able to see the complete text of any element as needed. The process dynamically adapts the display of structured information to the screen display width of a device. The structured information is presented on a screen display by displaying at least a portion of each element of a plurality of elements on the screen display where at least one of the selectable elements has a width greater than a width of the screen display. The at least one selectable element is scrolled horizontally while continuing to display the other elements of the plurality of elements.
