Loading local html pages in UIWebView

Question

I'm working with a UIWebView loading local (i.e. in the source bundle) html pages, ala Apple's Transweb example. Loading the first page is trivial. However, I have added a second html page and linked to it from the first. Attempting to link to a second page doesn't seem to work.

Anyone know how to make this work?

Thanks.

I had trouble accessing relative resources when loading a file by path. Try loading the file into memory, either as a string or data, so that you can explicitly pass in a base URL.

NSURL *bundleURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]];

then

[yourWebView loadHTMLString:yourHTML baseURL:bundleURL];

or

[yourWebView loadData:yourHTML MIMEType:@"text/html" textEncodingName:@"utf-8" baseURL:bundleURL];

I used this for accessing image resources, but it may also help with relative links.
