Copying a Site WebPage Using The IPad?

Is there a way to copy a page from a website using the IPad? I can't figure it out. I'm trying to go to my website and want to copy one of the pages there to send to someone, but when I put my finger on the page I don't get the usual "copy, paste, select all, select," I get nothing. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for the help once again!

I don't think it's possible to do it in that way although I could be mistaken as I've not tried it myself. The iPad is pretty limited when it comes to that sort of functionality. There are apps in the App store that allow you to save web pages. One of the more popular ones is Instapaper. Whether they allow you to send them via email I am not sure. Is it not possible for you to send a link to that web page and let the recipient open it up ?

Thanks David! I'll try what you say. The site is: lucindaluvaasnewwork.com. I'm trying to copy and email one of the pages in gallery 2010. I'll let you know if what you're telling me works.

This is the answer that"solved" my issue, not the one apple put the star on just for the record.

The site is using lightbox to display the images. Basiclly using JavaScript and CSS to display each image. The right click save image is disable too. These are the reasons why you can't save the image. Even if you were to save the web page on the iPad, the image wouldn't be saved with it.

When al else fails it is best to read the HTML source code for the web page. This will tell what's going on.

FYI it's not Apple that awards the stars but the Original Poster so they clearly thought that answered their question.
