    <p>I Have a UIView in a UINavigationController view stack. Inside the UIView I have a UIWebView, which gets populated with HTML formatted text (originally download from an xml file and stored in coredata).</p> <p>I want the UIWebView to expand vertically to fit the content so I call this code:</p> <pre><code>int screenWidth = self.view.frame.size.width - 40; CGRect frame = descText.frame; frame.size.height = 1; frame.size.width = screenWidth; descText.frame = frame; CGSize fittingSize = [descText CGSizeZero]; frame.size = fittingSize; </code></pre> <p>This works fine when the View is loaded in Portrait mode but when loaded in landscape. it expands too far, nearly double. The reason for this is that sizeThatFits returns a height that is far too big:</p> <pre><code>2011-05-05 14:16:20.268 DesignFedApp[2792:207] CURRENT SIZE: {293, 592} FITTING SIZE: {293, 592} 2011-05-05 14:16:26.282 DesignFedApp[2792:207] new orientation = 4 2011-05-05 14:16:26.283 DesignFedApp[2792:207] new orientation = 4 2011-05-05 14:16:26.283 DesignFedApp[2792:207] ROOT!! willRoatetToInterfaceOrientation!!!!!!!!!!! 2011-05-05 14:16:27.452 DesignFedApp[2792:207] CELL CLICKED: 1 2011-05-05 14:16:27.452 DesignFedApp[2792:207] LocNavController locSelected 2011-05-05 14:16:27.453 DesignFedApp[2792:207] Loc: The Hood 2011-05-05 14:16:27.459 DesignFedApp[2792:207] should rotate to LANDSCAPE 2011-05-05 14:16:27.481 DesignFedApp[2792:207] POSITION ELEMENTS view.width {{0, 0}, {480, 268}} 2011-05-05 14:16:27.483 DesignFedApp[2792:207] CURRENT SIZE: {440, 761} FITTING SIZE: {440, 761} </code></pre> <p>The really weird thing is that this does not happen when the HTML being loaded only consists of 1 p tag!!!! Multiple <p> tags and we have the issue described above. But only in Landscape. </p> <p>So to re-cap. UIWebView sizeThatFits return incorrect height, but only in landscape mode and only when html has more than one p tag.</p> <p>If anyone can shed any light on this it could save me weeks of time, I've been reading though so many forums and all the Apple docs but haven't found anything that can help me with this specific case.</p> <p>Thanks in advance, Ian.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> OK I've noticed that the problem only occurs if the loaded HTML String has more than 1 tag set in it:</p> <pre><code>NSString *html=@"&lt;p&gt;This is a parapgrah this will work fine......&lt;/p&gt;"; NSString *html2=@"&lt;p&gt;This is a paragraph with other &lt;i&gt;tags&lt;/i&gt;, this wont work properly&lt;/p&gt;"; </code></pre> <p>Whole Method. Called from webViewDidFinishLoad:webView</p> <pre><code>-(void)positionElements:(BOOL)inLandScape{ NSLog(@"position elements"); //stretch frame to fit content int screenWidth = self.view.frame.size.width - 40; CGRect frame = descText.frame; frame.size.height = 1; frame.size.width = screenWidth; descText.frame = frame; CGSize fittingSize = [descText sizeThatFits:CGSizeZero]; NSLog(@"fittingSize: %@",NSStringFromCGSize(fittingSize)); frame.size = fittingSize; descText.frame = frame; //position buttons underneath CGRect mapBtnFrame = showOnMapBtn.frame; mapBtnFrame.origin.y = frame.origin.y + frame.size.height + 20; showOnMapBtn.frame = mapBtnFrame; CGRect locBtnFrame = locationInfoBtn.frame; locBtnFrame.origin.y = mapBtnFrame.origin.y + mapBtnFrame.size.height + 20; locationInfoBtn.frame = locBtnFrame; CGRect scrollFrame = self.view.frame; scrollFrame.size.height -= 49; container.frame = scrollFrame; CGRect contentRect = CGRectZero; for (UIView *containerSubView in container.subviews) contentRect = CGRectUnion(contentRect, containerSubView.frame); container.contentSize = contentRect.size; } </code></pre>

    1. COCan you explain further? Which is incorrect, the UIWebView's frame's height or the height of the scrollable area?

    2. COThe UIWebView frame height is wrong after calling sizeThatFits. Surely if the width is bigger than when I called it in protrait mode, then the height that fits will be smaller, not larger. But again, this only happens if the text has more than one p tag

    3. COAre you saying you don't want the `UIWebView` to scroll at all? You're saying that if you rotate to landscape mode and the `UIWebView` gets wider as a result, you also want it to get shorter so that it is only tall enough to display the HTML content?

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
