Abstract
A scrollable selection highlighter for viewing and selecting an element in a list of elements on a data processing device display. A selection highlighter may be stationary near the middle of the display while the list of elements moves in response to user input if the first and last elements in the list are not at the top or bottom positions of the display. If the first element in the list is at the top of the display, the selection highlighter may move above the middle position while the list of elements remains stationary. If the last element in the list is at the bottom of the display, the selection highlighter may move below the middle position while the list of elements remains stationary.
