detect a distance between a location of the screen edge and a location of the moving cursor is within a first predetermined distance;

trigger the content-containing webpage to move in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the moving cursor when the detected distance between the location of the screen edge and the location of the moving cursor is within the first predetermined distance;

detect that the moving cursor reaches an edge of the content of the content-containing webpage while the content-containing webpage is moving in the opposite direction to the moving direction of the moving cursor;

move the content-containing webpage by a second predetermined distance in the opposite direction to the moving direction of the moving cursor when the detected moving cursor reaches the edge of the content of the content-containing webpage to move the edge of the content of the content-containing webpage away from the screen edge of the touch-screen to a center of the touch-screen; and

select the content at the screen edge of the touch-screen in response to moving the edge of the content of the content-containing webpage away from the screen edge of the touch-screen to a center of the touch-screen.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to: detect the location of the preset marker displayed on the predetermined area of the touch-screen of the mobile terminal.

7. The device of claim 5 , wherein the touch-screen includes a capacitive touch-screen.

8. A device for selecting and processing content at an edge of a content-containing webpage, comprising:

a processor configured to:

detect locations of a pair of cursor parts for a user to select an area in the content-containing webpage on a touch-screen of a mobile terminal;

detect one cursor part of the pair of cursor parts moving in a direction toward a screen edge of the touch-screen and the one cursor part of the pair of cursor parts moving in the direction toward the screen edge of the touch-screen is dragged in a horizontal direction or a vertical direction by the user to move on top of the content in the content-containing webpage without moving the content along;

detect one or more user clicks on a preset marker displayed on a predetermined area of the touch-screen;

in response to the detected clicks on the preset marker displayed on the predetermined area of the touch-screen, drag the moving cursor part to move on top of the content in the content-containing webpage, and wherein the preset marker includes an upward, a downward, a leftward, or a rightward arrow used to drag the moving cursor part;

determine whether a distance between a location of the screen edge and a location of the moving cursor part is within a first predetermined distance;

trigger the content-containing webpage to move in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the cursor part when the distance between the location of the screen edge and the location of the moving cursor part is within the first predetermined distance;

detect that the moving cursor part reaches an edge of the content of the content-containing webpage while the content-containing webpage is moving in the opposite direction to the moving direction of the moving cursor part;
