WebView history

Question

When is a page added to the forward backward list in WebView?

I have [webview setMaintainsBackForwardList:YES], but [webview canGoBack] still returns NO after I do a couple of [[webview mainFrame] loadRequest:request]. Why is that?

Answer 1

I believe entries are only put onto this list when the user navigates. If you want to add items to this list programmatically, you'll need to send addItem: to the webView's backForwardList.
