Dean–
Just wanted to thank you SO MUCH. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this for quite some time.

Thanks!

I’m trying to access links that point to the iTunes store from within a Web View but they do not work. They work fine from within Safari. I even tried putting target=”_blank” in the link to open a new window when the link is clicked but that did not work either. Here’s an example of a link:

http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=31739259&id=31739244&s=143441&uo=4

I need a way access the iTunes music store from within the web view but I’d rather do it in HTML is possible.

Thanks.

Opening the webpage (or another one) in safari works great. I am unable to open it in the webView (or a new one). With/without modifying the request. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the tutorial

Gene: My guess is you didn’t set your delegate to self. I had that problem, trying to use this example in different code.

Is there a way this can be made to call a second local html file? When I click the link the debugger never reaches: – (BOOL)webView

I tried following what james said but it isn’t working for me. I need to get the url but after it gets the first url stop getting more and continue loading the page. So I basically want urlStirng to = the first url found then load that url.

How can I achieve this?

Dean, i am new to iphone/obj-c. Have been a flash programmer for long. Thanks for this post, its amazing.

As practice, I tried to create the whole thing from scratch, and when I run it on simulator, i just see a blank screen with status bar and soon after that an error in dealloc method.

I used interface builder, but don’t know which xib to edit (there are two). Is it always necessary to use xib? I prefer coding; not designing. I placed web view ui to WebViewController and I just cant get beyond the blank screen. I am getting petrified my the interface builder and it is horribly discouraging to use xcode along with interface builder.

Please suggest me how to understand IB and how I finally run my app just the way your sample runs.

Thanks.

Best
Sam
