Thank you. Turned out I was trying to locate his iPad, after logging into my account and not his.
It appears his iPad is turned off, or hidden? I say this because it's say's it's online, but can't locate, but then agin, 3 minutes later it say's it's not online?
But once I logged in as him (with him there to put in his info), it at least looked for it.
If his iPad is NOT cellular, then the only way it can be "located" is if it is on a WiFi network that is contained in whatever location database(s) Apple uses for this. Most personal WiFi networks will NOT be included in such a database ... so seeing it as "online" but "unable to locate" is not that unusual.

you can't log into iCloud from Safari on iOS ... but perhaps with a different browser?
... I haven't tried it, so it might not work... but try a different browser and see if you can log in.
(I think Dolphin is free if you need to find one real quick... i also think Chrome might be available for iOS.)
Maybe, call your friends ipad? if his ipad launch skype
