if the resolution threshold for displaying the widget element does not match with the resolution threshold for displaying the widget, receiving a mapping between the resolution threshold for displaying the widget element and the resolution threshold for displaying the widget; and

determining whether the widget element is displayed by using the received mapping.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the resolution information corresponding to the display device comprises a resolution that is currently used by the display device.

3. A system for displaying a web page, comprising:

receiving means configured to:

receive resolution information corresponding to a resolution of a display device;

receive resolution threshold for displaying a widget on the web page; and

receive a resolution threshold for displaying a widget element on the web page; and

a widget adaptor configured to:

determine whether the resolution of the display device is less than the resolution threshold for displaying the widget;

if the resolution of the display device is not less than the resolution threshold for displaying the widget, display the widget on the web page, wherein the web page is displayed on the display device;

if the resolution of the display device is less than the resolution threshold for displaying the widget, not display the widget on the web page;

determine whether the resolution threshold for displaying the widget element matches with the resolution threshold for displaying the widget;

if the resolution threshold for displaying the widget element does not match with the resolution threshold for displaying the widget, receive a mapping between the resolution threshold for displaying the widget element and the resolution threshold for displaying the widget; and

determine whether the widget element is displayed by using the received mapping.

4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the resolution information corresponding to the display device comprises a resolution that is currently used by the display device.
