Restrict an iPad (disable button/certain uses)

[Russinating]

We're doing an exhibition soon and we want an iPad to have a webpage on it where people can request our brochure via a name/email. It'll just be a simple webpage that we host that when submitted will return to the same form.

Is it relatively easy to disable everything but the webpage space and keyboard?

So the home button needs to be disabled as well as access to the URL bar/navigation buttons. I've seen Guided Access but without an iPad in front of me I'm unsure that does what I want because although it'll restrict use to the web browser, will it disable the navigation buttons?

If it's difficult in iOS then is it significantly easier on Android?

When you say home button do you mean the physical button on the ipad. If this is the case then no (as far as memory goes) this can not be disabled. You are able to restrict access to areas such as settings if being managed by some form of MBM (Mobile Management solution).

You can try this for hiding the nav bar in safari

you could use "guided access"

What tedaC says guided access is built into the iPad for this very purpose.

Perfect, thanks guys. I knew it existed for restricting apps but was unsure if I could disable the nav. Seems you can, though a shame it leaves the grey overlay. Thanks guys .
