What You’ll Be Using
To browse the Internet with Safari, you need to use the following:
> An Internet connection
(Wi-Fi or 4G)
The Safari app
Navigating Safari
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:
1. From the Home screen, tap Safari. The Safari screen appears, as shown in
Figure 12-1.
2. Tap the Address field. The virtual keyboard appears.
3. 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.
4. Type a website address such as www.nostarch.com. As you type, a list of
previously viewed website addresses appears.
