Question

Ok, so i’ve scoured google and this site for code snippets but none of them seem to work. The tableview navigates to a new view, with a webview in it.
The header says

@interface WebViewController : UIViewController <UIWebViewDelegate> {
UIWebView *_webView;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;

Then we have the viewDidLoad

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
//    [self.webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.co.uk"]]];
            NSString *urlAddress = @"http://www.google.co.uk";
            NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
            NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
            [self.webView loadRequest:requestObj];

As you can see, i’ve tried 2 different methods that i could find. The view is loading but it is not loading the website.
On the NIB the webView has Outlets – delegate – File’s Owner and Referencing Outlets – webView – File’s Owner also webView = _webView is synthesized.

As far as i can see everything is linked up and i’m stumped as to why it doesn’t work! Halp? ^_^

If this cannot be sorted, can anyone recommend a better way to navigate to a webview from a tableview?

Anyone?

Answer 1

When I implement a UIWebView I typically do the following in my header file:

//.h
//XIB UIWebView has a single outlet to the IBOutlet below

@interface WebViewController : UIViewController <UIWebViewDelegate> {
IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;
}

@property (nonatomic, strong) UIWebView *webView;



//.m
//The only difference, and it's somewhat semantics, is the following

[webView loadRequest:requestObj];
webView.delegate = self;
