S60 Browser 7.0 features

The features described in this section were introduced in the S60 Browser, version 7.0. For information about the evolution of the S60 Browser versions, see Web Browser for S60 versions and device support.

Support for touch devices

The S60 Browser added support for touch devices in version 7.0.

On Touch devices, a virtual on-screen keyboard is used for input to text boxes and Web page form fields. 4-way and 8-way navigation is supported via rocker key inputs.

There are some aspects of interacting with a Web page on a touch device that you should take into consideration. For more information, see x-ref to section about touch devices.

On-screen zoom control

Zoom has been available since S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 (OSS Browser (3.1) features).

The ability for mobile device users to control the zoom level on a touch device was added to version 7.0. Zoom control on touch devices is via a graphical zoom “slider” that sets the zoom level through direct touch manipulation.
