Question

In my app by pressing a button I want to open UIWebView on full screen, the UIWebView will load a HTML page that will hold a button that will close the UIWebView and return to app.

The problem is that I fail to make the button close the page and return to app.
I tried parent.history.back() and history.back and several versions of self.close() but nothing seems to work (BTW it work in browser but not from UIWebView.

any idea?
thanks

[UIWebViewDelegate][1] has your answer

    - (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView*)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest*)request            
                                    navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
        if (request.URL == "SOME URL TO CLOSE WINDOW") {
            //do close window magic here!!
            [self stopLoading];
            return NO;
        }
        return YES;
    }
-(void)stopLoading{
    [_webView removeFromSuperview];
}
