When using a browser on a regular computer, you can use a mouse to click links, menus, and icons. Safari on the iPad works similarly except instead of menus, it just displays icons to tap. Any link that you would normally click with the mouse, you can just tap with your finger.
To see how to navigate with Safari on the iPad, follow these steps:
From the Home screen, tap Safari. The Safari screen appears.
Tap the Address field. The virtual keyboard appears.
Press the Backspace key, or tap the X that appears to the far right of the Address field to clear the contents of the Address field.
Type a website address such as www.nostarch.com. As you type, a list of previously viewed website addresses appears, as shown in Figure 13-1.
(Optional) Tap one of the website addresses in the displayed list.
Tap the Go key on the virtual keyboard. Your chosen website appears.
Tap the Back arrow icon. Your previous web page appears.
Tap the Forward arrow icon. The web page you viewed after the current one now appears.
Place two fingertips on the screen, and move them away from each other to zoom in on the currently displayed web page.
Place two fingertips on the screen, and move them closer together to zoom out on the currently displayed web page.
Double-tap on a column of text. Safari zooms to the column. Double-tap again, and Safari zooms out.
Tap any link on the currently displayed web page. The new page opens.
