If your content is local HTML or a remote web resource, I would highly
recommend* Kiosk Pro App:

http://www.kioskproapp.com/

It's about $40/iPad, but it's highly worth it. It does a great job of
locking you into a specific web view, and you can force it into single app
mode.

* - Actually, I would recommend avoiding iPads like the plague, but that's
a whole 'nother post.
