Handling the rel attribute in a UIWebView?

Question

Is there a way for my UIWebViewDelegate to see what the rel attribute of a clicked < a> element is?

Answer 1

When the page loads (using webViewDidFinishLoad:), you could add some javascript to the page (using stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:) that stores the rel attribute of a clicked element in a variable, then in webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType: you can execute a script to get the contents of the variable.
