Tapping other links leads to different outcomes:
Open a map: Tapping a map launches the Maps application that is, um, addressed in Chapter
6 .
Prepare an e-mail: Tap an e-mail address, and the iPad opens the Mail program (see Chapter
5 ) and prepopulates the To field with that address. The virtual keyboard is also summoned so
that you can add other e-mail addresses and compose a subject line and message. This short-
cut doesn't always work when an e-mail address appears on a web page.
To see the URL for a link, press your finger on the link and hold it there until a list of
options appears, as shown in Figure 4-5 .
Figure 4-5: Press and hold on a link (new approach) and a list of options appears.
Use this method also to determine whether a picture has a link. Just hold your finger down on the
picture; if it's linked, you see the web address that the link points to.
As for the other link options shown in Figure 4-5 , here's what two of them do:
Open: Opens the page in this tab.
Copy: Copies the link's URL to your iPad's Clipboard so that you can paste it elsewhere.
You hear more about the other two options — Open in New Tab and Add to Reading List — a little
later in this chapter.
