An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display and a processor configured to control the display of a graphical user interface on the display. The electronic device further includes a computer readable medium containing instructions for configuring the processor to provide a menu. The menu includes a plurality of links. The links include at least one link that corresponds to a submenu. The submenu includes a further plurality of links. The processor monitors a plurality of user inputs and monitors the position of a cursor within the display.
