Safari closes down by itself

I just recently got the iPad 2 for Christmas. I am having a problem where I go on a website that I really love called DeviantART. Whenever I am in the middle of typing down a message to somebody, it sends me out of Safari for some reason. DeviantART is fine on my PC with the messaging ands not being kicked out, but it's only with my iPad. Can you please help with what I need to do or what I need to install for it to stop kicking me out?

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1, 16GB

You may have a memory management issue when you are using this website, and none of these fixes may help, but there are easy to try and are worth a shot. One of them might help.


Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.


Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.


Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.


Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
