Question

I’m looking up web pages using UIWebView and NSURLRequest and it’s working fine, but I want it to start with a blank page each time, rather than displaying the results of the last URL lookup. Is there an easy way to do that?

I’m doing this in viewDidLoad:

wikiText = [[[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 370)] autorelease];
[wikiView addSubview:wikiText];

…and then I load the UIWebView like this:

NSString *urlAddress =[NSString stringWithFormat: @"http://%@", randomEWiki];

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress]; 

NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];

[wikiText loadRequest:requestObj];

Start with this first.

 [wikiText loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@""]]]; 

This loads a blank page first. then open your usual URL.

 NSString *urlAddress =[NSString stringWithFormat: @"http://%@", randomEWiki];

 NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress]; 

 NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];

 [wikiText loadRequest:requestObj];
