How do I drag the "Bookmarklet" on my ipad? It won't drag. I did it on my Mac but I use iPad the most.
Love your site and have spread the word!

As you mentioned, there's no bookmarks bar on the iPad browser, therefore, you cannot drag the button to it. But there's a way to get the bookmarklet to your iPad bookmarks. It involves sync'ing your Mac Safari browser bookmarks with your iPad browser bookmarks.

1. Make sure the Houzz bookmarklet is installed on your Mac Safari browser.
2. Connect your iPad to your Mac.
3. Start iTunes.
4. In iTunes, Click on your iPad under "Devices".
5. Select the Info tab.
6. Scroll down a little bit, and you will see the "Other" section, select the checkbox that says "Sync Safari Bookmarks".
7. Click Apply button to start Sync'ing bookmarks between your Mac Safari and iPad browser.

After that you should see "Add to Ideabook" in your iPad browser bookmarks. Then it works in similar ways as the browser bookmarklet. Go to any website, when you see a picture you like, click the bookmarks button on the browser, and select "Add to Ideabook". Then you can tap on the image, the Add to Ideabook dialog should open.

What needs to be done is to bookmark and then change the code. Pinterest gave me the info to replace the actual info for the bookmark. If someone in your IT dept could post that information it would work fine. Please provide for all The iPad users. Here is what I replaced the bookmark for Pinterest with javascript:void((function()%7Bvar%20e=document.createElement('script');e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');e.setAttribute('src',' http://passets-cdn.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)%7D)());
