    text
    copied!<p>I have a UIViewController subclass which includes a UIWebView and implements the UIWebViewDelegate. What i want to do is make links pressed in the UIWebView to open in safari.<br> I've read past questions about this, but still can't make it work. Here is about what i've done: </p> <p>In the <code>- (void)viewDidLoad</code> method of my class i use the following code: </p> <pre><code>[[self articleWebView] setDelegate: self]; [articleWebView loadRequest:requestObj]; </code></pre> <p>I don't want to display the whole html page that is loaded in the articleWebView object, so in the <code>-(void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView</code> method i use this:<br> <code>NSString *content = [articleWebView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.getElementsByClassName('myDivId')[0].outerHTML;"];</code></p> <p>Then i empty(release) the articleWebView and load the content: </p> <pre><code>[articleWebView release]; articleWebView= [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,380)]; [articleWebView loadHTMLString:content baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.mysite.gr/"]]; self.view = articleWebView; </code></pre> <p>I tried to use the following, but it's not working </p> <pre><code>-(BOOL)webView:(UIWebView*)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest*)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType { NSURL* url = [request URL]; if (UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked == navigationType) { [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url]; return NO; } return YES; } </code></pre> <p>Any ideas what i am missing?<br> Thank you in advance.</p> <p>EDIT: As i can see, the shouldStartLoadWithRequest does not get called, so i'm guessing there is something wrong with the delegate of my webView?</p>
