How do you connect to the web with only wi-fi on your iPad?
You find a WiFi hotspot to connect with.
If you have a mobile hot spot data plan on your iPhone then you can tether, which means to share data from your iPhone to connect your iPad. AT&T also has new mobile shares plans that give you this ability.
If you have a Wi-Fi only iPad, then you can connect using a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. The iPhone has a feature, known as tethering, where it can share it's cellular data plan as a Wi-Fi hotspot. For this to work you must be on a compatible data plan with your mobile carrier. You can turn on the hotspot feature in your iPhone settings. This will create a new Wi-Fi network from your iPhone, which you can then connect to using your iPad. Check here for more details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4517
