Reading HTML content from a UIWebView

Question

Is it possible to the raw HTML content of a web page that has been loaded into a UIWebView?

If not, is there another way to pull raw HTML content from a web page in the iPhone SDK (such as an equivalent of the .NET WebClient::openRead)?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 2

if you want to extract the contents of an already-loaded UIWebView, -stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString. For example:

NSString *html = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString: @"document.body.innerHTML"];

Answer 3

Is there a method to parse html content and put only the interesting parts in a uiwebview?

Answer 4

To read:-

NSString *html = [myWebView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString: @"document.getElementById('your div id').textContent"];
NSLog(html);

To modify:-

html = [myWebView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString: @"document.getElementById('your div id').textContent=''"];
