loadHTMLString Not Working With iOS5?

Question

The following code does not work with iOS5:

- (void)loadURL
{
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:self.HTML ofType:@"html"];     
    NSString *markup = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
    [self.webView loadHTMLString:markup baseURL:nil];
    [markup release];
}

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request 
                                                 navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
    if (navigationType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked)
    {
        // Another controller loads
        return NO;
    }
    else
    {
        return YES;
    }
}

When the web view loads, it does nothing, just an empty screen appears. When I run this in iOS 4.3 it loads the HTML from the bundle.

I'm having a similar problem. In mine I specify a baseURL, which is a file URL into the app bundle. Also, my HTML specifies a text/javascript script tag which is supposed to load from the app bundle. If I remove this tag then I start to see html being rendered - otherwise a blank view... — TomSwift

Sorry about that. Been somewhat busy and forgot about this. Thanks for pointing this out. — Hahnemann

If your html includes a script tag that is self-closing <script src="..." /> tag then this is likely the cause of the problem.
