I have a very simple Mac Cocoa app that just has a Web View that loads an HTML file with some CSS and JavaScript. I have hooked up the app delegate to this method:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
NSString* filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"index" ofType: @"html"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString: filePath];
[[self.webView mainFrame] loadHTMLString: [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile: filePath] baseURL: url];
}
The index.html file contains the following:
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello, World!</title>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
$('h1').fadeOut()
})
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
</body>
</html>
The style.css file gets loaded correctly, because I set the background to grey in that, so I know it can load other assets from the resource bundle. The javascript code does not get executed. If I open index.html in Safari, the Hello World h1 disappears, as expected. Why doesn't this happen in the app in my WebView? Do I have to do something to enable JavaScript? The box next to JavaScript is checked in Interface Builder.
