    <p>To add to j_freyre's answer, which shows you how to execute and get data out of Javascript from Objective C, you can also call Objective C code from Javascript running in a UIWebView. This requires a little bit more work, and is a little hackish.</p> <p>On the Javascript side:</p> <pre><code>var call_stack = new Array(); //This will hold our Objective C function calls function addWithObjC(a,b){ call_stack.splice(0,0,"add:"+a+":"+b); //We separate the components of the call (function name, parameters) by a colon, but it could be anything. window.location.href = "::ObjCcall::"; } function multiplyWithObjC(a,b){ call_stack.splice(0,0,"multiply:"+a+":"+b); window.location.href = "::ObjCcall::"; } </code></pre> <p>This will attempt to load a bogus url. "::ObjCcall::" could be anything that's not a potentially valid url. The trick is now to catch this request in Objective C. Assuming you have a UIWebView and a corresponding UIViewController, in your UIViewController interface specify:</p> <pre><code>@interface MyWebViewController : UIViewController &lt;UIWebViewDelegate&gt;{ //declare stuff } </code></pre> <p>On the implementation side, somewhere:</p> <pre><code>[(UIWebView *)self.view setDelegate:self]; </code></pre> <p>You then catch the request by implementing the following:</p> <pre><code>- (BOOL) webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType { NSString *url = [[request URL] absoluteString]; //Our potentially bogus request url if([url hasSuffix:@"::ObjCcall::"]){ //We're trying to call Objective C code NSString *command; //Our specially formatted function call //While our call stack is not empty... while(![command = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"call_stack.pop()"]isEqualToString:@""]){ //Break the function call into its compoments NSArray *segments = [command componentsSeparatedByString:@":"]; //We found a call we respond to if(([[segments objectAtIndex:0] isEqualToString:@"add"])&amp;&amp;([segments count] &gt; 2)){ //Here is where the Objective C action takes place float result = [[segments objectAtIndex:1]floatValue] + [[segments objectAtIndex:2]floatValue]; //Do something with the results... } else if(([[segments objectAtIndex:0] isEqualToString:@"multiply"])&amp;&amp;([segments count] &gt; 2)){ //Another function float result = [[segments objectAtIndex:1]floatValue] * [[segments objectAtIndex:2]floatValue]; } //Add more checks as needed [segments release]; return NO; //This tells the UIWebView to not try to load the page } } else{ return YES; //This is a valid URL request, load the page } } </code></pre> <p>This is a little bit more complicated than it might seem necessary. However, the UIWebView doesn't like window.location.href being changed in rapid succession. We implement a call stack to be sure that no call gets skipped by. </p> <p>It's a lot more work to setup than call Javascript from Objective C, for sure, but once you've setup the boilerplate, all you need to do is add checks in the while loop inside shouldStartLoadWithRequest.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
