Add the X-Ray Goggles Bookmarklet to your iPad:

These instructions will allow you to add the X-Ray Goggles bookmark to your iPad. The X-Ray Goggles work on an iPad but can be difficult to use because of the touch screen and because iOS Safari it is not as fast as a desktop browser.

We recommend using a desktop browser with X-Ray Goggles, but if you only have access to iPads the following steps will provide a workaround.

  8. Click on the "X-Ray Goggles" bookmark you created.
  9. Paste the code into the "Address" of the bookmark. Then click the "Done" key on your keyboard.ang
  10. Click "Done" at the bottom of the bookmarks panel.
