Re: iPad toolbar disappeared


Seems the toolbar could be just hidden ... try tapping the top of the window to get it back:


ie: Apple support's online article: Customize your Safari settings on iPad - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"Change the display controls for a website

You can hide the search field, switch to Reader, and more.

  1. Go to the Safari app on your iPad.
  2. Tap , then do any of the following:
    • Hide the search field: Tap , then tap Hide Toolbar (tap the top of the window to get it back)."
