Abstract

The embodiments of the disclosure provide a page display method and apparatus, belonging to the field of terminals. The method comprises monitoring the page browsing mode of a browser while running the browser; determining a changed page browsing mode, if the page browsing mode of the browser is changed; and displaying a tips button on the current page of the browser, if the changed page browsing mode is a specified mode. The apparatus comprises a monitoring module, a determining module, and a displaying module. Thereby, the tips-making process while switching modes is simplified. The tips button is displayed on a specific location to remind users, without breaking the continuous browsing via the browser, so that non-trace switch can be achieved when the browser changes its page browsing mode.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of displaying a tips button on a current page of the browser comprises:
displaying the tips button on the current page of the browser and providing tips through a pop-up control, if the page browsing mode of the browser is changed to the specified mode for the first time.

5. A terminal device, comprising:
a memory; and
a processor, configured to execute a program stored in the memory, wherein the program comprises instructions used to perform the following operations:
monitoring a page browsing mode of a browser while running the browser;
determining a changed page browsing mode, if the page browsing mode of the browser is changed;
displaying a tips button on a current page of the browser, if the changed page browsing mode is a specified mode, to indicate that the current page is in the specified mode;
