Hi

I am creating an iPhone app for checking your school timetable. At the moment you have to manually enter your timetable, which is very very time consuming, and I don't think that anyone would even bother with it.

However, my school has a V.L.E. on it's website and we can access our timetables online by entering our username and password.

I was wandering if it would be possible to be download the timetable from the VLE and save it.

I presume that the only way to do it is to programatically control a UIWebView, like getting it to tap in a certain location on the page or follow certain hyperlinks. It would also need to type in the username and password that the user has given. It would be good if it could do this without showing you what is doing (just with a progress bar showing how close it is to finishing downloading or something similar).

I have searched Google for an answer but there doesn't seem to be an answer to my problem, so any answers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
