The method includes that: when a UE accesses a WEB page through a browser, the browser parses a received HTML text, and typesets the WEB page in manner of a default picture according to a result of the parsing; a visual area of the WEB page is calculated and a control within the visual area is acquired; and after it is determined that the control within the visual area includes an image control and each image control within the visual area has obtained a corresponding picture, the visual area is drawn. With the disclosure, when a user only wants to view part of the area of a WEB page, time waiting for displaying of the WEB page and data-flow consumption are reduced by merely downloading any picture of the WEB page that is within the scope of a screen.
