I want to make a simple app, where a UIWebView with custom content will have several links to other pages with similar content as well (and a navigation bar on top, with just a back button).
I read the answers to this question, however I’m not sure if I should do that in my application, as the user might be able to go deep enough, and I will be creating new webviews all the time.
What could be the best practice for such a behavior?

Thank you!

    I’d recommend listening for:

    - (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType;

    and always returning YES (so the webView will continue with the requested link) while storing each request in an NSMutableArray to create a stack of the user’s browsing history.

    That would let you update a back button’s text with the previous page’s title (shortened of course).

    If you just need to have a back button without label, you could have a simple button hooked up to the UIWebView’s - (void) goBack; method.
