NA Autohide of Ipad bookmarks? NA

[Let'sgoflying!]

On my wife's Ipad, when you click a bookmark, the book mark panel automatically disappears and it takes you to the selected site.
On mine (same ipad, same OS version), the bookmark panel stays put, annoyingly so.
Is there a setting to control this?

Mike thanks for looking that up.
It is the vertical strip at the left that I am on about:

Have you checked within the iPad settings? Go there, scroll down to Safari. Compare what you behave to your wife's pad. It might be "Show Favorites Bar".

thanks Mike, will do.

Normally, I just tap the bookmark icon at the top and the bookmarks or history disappear.

That's the method I seem to stuck with too until I can discover the autohide switch. Tks

Dave... are the bookmarks you want to hid along the left side?

I have Show Favorites Bar turned off in "Settings" btw, no change

The answer to this is that you get 'Autohide Favorites' (my term) in Portrait mode, note Landscape mode on the ipad. There are no user adjustments available

LGF - When I looked at your screen shot I don't see the address bar. ON mine, next to the address bar, there is an icon of a book that toggles the left pane on and off. If the icon is solid blue, the left pane is on, blue outline left pane is off.

It's probably just cut off as it was not important to my question.

Right, I think that is a universal button everyone has.

The thread is about getting that 'left pane' (favorites) to automatically disappear after selecting one of the favorites. Happens in Portrait but not Landscape (and I only like Landscape )
