Abstract
Disclosed is a method, a computer program, a device, an apparatus and a browser operable with a user interface having an output display and an input to receive signals from a plurality of user inputs, where at least one user input is a multi-function input operable in a first mode to provide a display control input, and in a second mode to provide another function, such as alphanumeric character input and, when operating the at least one user input in the first mode, to inhibit operation of the at least one user input in the second mode due to a change in content of the display in response to operation in the first mode. The first mode may be, as non-limiting examples, a zoom mode or a scroll mode.
