Currently i am developing a sample where i am displaying 4 webview in ipad screen and trying to show 4 different URL in them.

All the web pages are showing in the webview perfectly.

Answer 1

overwrite below delegate method and check which webview is loading finished like below

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
   if(webView== firstWebView)
   { 
     [firstIndicator setHidden:YES];
   }
  else
  {
     so on...
  }
}
