You need to target the device by its User Agent  using some script  The user agent for the iPad is   Mozilla 5 0  iPad  U  CPU OS 3 2 like Mac OS X  en-us  AppleWebKit 531 21 10  KHTML  like Gecko  Version 4 0 4 Mobile 7B334b Safari 531 21 10

These days you can use a Media Queries Level 4 feature to check if the device has the ability to  hover  over elements     media  hover  hover            Since the ipad has no  hover  state you can effectively target touch devices like the ipad
