Input HTML code in UIWebview

Question

I have a header string, footer string and body of the HTML page. I need to programmatically include some text in the body and then I need to input all this data in a UIWebView to load the page. I need to input the final HTML string into a UIWebView controler, so that it will launch the page I designed. Could someone please share your ideas how can I achieve this?

Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for the reply. No, i didn't find any tutorial how to go ahead on this. But, I am only seeing how to read js or html files from directory and execute that page. — Getsy

You mean something like:

NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"<html><head><style>body{background-color:black}</style></head><body>the body goes here</body>"];    
UIWebView *myWebView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0,76.0,320.0,404.0)];
[myWebView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil];

If you, for example, have head stored in headString and body in bodyString you could combine them with:

[NSString stringWithFormat: @"<html>%@%@</html>", headString, bodyString];

@rokjarc How would you include a http header (i.e. 'Accept-Language: en-US' or 'Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ')?

@ConfusedDeer: hmm, head in my answer refers to the <head> tag. According to this answer you could set the headers in shouldStartLoadWithRequest:. I didn't try it though.
