I have never used this tool. Please help me to "exit the full screen mode." I am unable to see the toolbar in Safari.
iPad, iOS 5.1.1
Try dragging the web page down. I don't believe iPad's Safari has a "Full Screen" mode.
There is no full screen mode in Safari. In the settings go to Safari>Always show bookmarks bar>On. That should return the bookmarks bar but there is no way to not show the toolbar.
THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING. Is there a way to adjust settings in Safari, like my homepage? So far I am not pleased with the IPad. Wish I had looked at other tablets before buying. the main thing I don't like is Safari. I welcome any positive comments. Thanks.

Can you explain to me what this means? There is no way to hide the toolbar in Safari that I am aware of but apparently it worked for the OP. I am curious. Maybe I am missing something.
I don't believe you can set a homepage for Safari, but you can do something similar if you want:
If there's a web page you frequently visit, you can go to the bookmark icon near the top left and select "Add to Home Screen". That will place this web page on your iPad's screen.
Regarding Demo's question above, sorry I don't really understand the question. Agreed there is no way to hide the toolbar, but it can be placed out of view, I believe. Scrolling up would reveal it.

Safari doesn't include a Home page, but does allow for a multitude of book marks. In addition, there numerous other browsers available in the apps store. Some of them will allow for setting Home page if it is that important to you (personally, I don't miss it).
The bookmarks bar can be be hidden from the setting app. There is no real tool bar in Safari.
You might want to take a look through the User Guide and learn a little more about how the iPad works, if you haven't already.

No I think you understand it as well as I can explain what I am asking. I guess it has never happened to me so I don't see how you can scroll or place the toolbar out of your view.
Please help me exit "full screen mode." I am unable to see the Safari menu bar.
