Text Reflow would be a fantastic addition to IE in Windows Phone, as it makes the browsing experience so much better. Please vote and spread the word to hopefully make this happen!

Not sure what text reflow is?

Text reflow is a feature which allows the browser to - when you pinch-to-zoom - automatically and dynamically adjust and re-indent/reformat text on ANY web page for much improved readability.
You can seamlessly adjust the zoom level for comfortable reading, and the text always stays perfectly aligned within the page margins with no words cut off, no matter the zoom level - so no more panning left and right to read a whole line, or squinting at tiny fonts that are near-impossible to read.

How is this different from normally zooming in on the text you want to read? When you zoom in without reflowing, some browsers automatically detect the text/page width and set the zoom level accordingly - but this often leaves you with a tiny typeface which is really hard to read at a glance.

And if you zoom in further to actually make things readable, the text will be cut off so you’ll have to resort to panning back and forth to read the lines in full.

Text reflow solves all of this. And it’s a feature that is absent on many other platforms, such as IOS and some Android implementations.
Having this in Windows Phone would be a stand-out feature that would be a boon to usability and accessibility!

Here are the benefits of text reflow:

* It gives you a much, much (much) better mobile browsing experience
* It makes text readable at a glance, by reformatting it to your chosen zoom level
* Words & sentences are never cut off/outside the screen, so no flicking left and right to read
* No more eyestrain staring at tiny fonts - zoom to a comfortable reading size and the text remains formatted perfectly
* Works with ALL web pages - pages don’t have to be designed for mobiles to be readable
* You can still view the whole page with the layout preserved, exactly as the web designer intended
* It makes mobile browsing much more accessible for those with poor eyesight

And believe me, once you’ve tried text reflow you NEVER want to go back to using a browser that doesn’t support it.

Please spread the word and vote for this so it can hopefully be implemented in Windows Phone!

PS: Here’s an example of text reflow on an HTC device: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-WJCyNCXIo

Before Mango, IE supported navigating to a specific spot within a page using anchors (the # after a URL). However, with the new IE9, this functionality has vanished when navigating to another page. It will only scroll to the anchor when it is within the same page.

This is very annoying when browsing to specific subparts of a page, such as with forums that link to a specific post, or a link to a paragraph on wikipedia.

It's nice that MS tries to jump on the HTML5 bandwagon, but please be sure to continue to support features that have been around since the dawn of the web itself!
