POHow do you enable javascript in a WebView
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a very simple Mac Cocoa app that just has a Web View that loads an HTML file with some CSS and JavaScript. I have hooked up the app delegate to this method:</p> <pre><code>- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification { NSString* filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"index" ofType: @"html"]; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString: filePath]; [[self.webView mainFrame] loadHTMLString: [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile: filePath] baseURL: url]; } </code></pre> <p>The index.html file contains the following:</p> <pre><code><html> <head> <title>Hello, World!</title> <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(function($){ $('h1').fadeOut() }) </script> </head> <body> <h1>Hello, World!</h1> </body> </html> </code></pre> <p>The style.css file gets loaded correctly, because I set the background to grey in that, so I know it can load other assets from the resource bundle. The javascript code does not get executed. If I open index.html in Safari, the Hello World <code>h1</code> disappears, as expected. Why doesn't this happen in the app in my WebView? Do I have to do something to enable JavaScript? The box next to JavaScript is checked in Interface Builder.</p> <p>The code for this is available at <a href="http://github.com/pjb3/WebViewApp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://github.com/pjb3/WebViewApp</a></p>
