Abstract
A method, a client terminal and a computer program for presenting on a display a (X)HTML document which includes a table. The table in the (X)HTML document is examined and determined to be a true table or a non-true table. If the table is determined to be a true table, the content of the table, including its table structure, is presented on the display. If the table is determined to be a non-true table, the table is formatted by rejecting the table structure, and the content of the table is presented as a linear structure on the display. The invention is particularly suitable for presenting HTML documents, including tables, on a client terminal with a display with a limited number of horizontal pixels, such as a mobile telephone or a PDA.
