Calling delegate method from popover class - iphone

Question

I'm new to Objective C and I'm having trouble getting delegates to work in my code.
I have a class called cViewController and in this class has a UIWebView to fetch webpages and a button above it that calls a popover class called prodMenu. What I'm having trouble with is that the function to call webpages from the prodMenu class and display it on the parent UIWebView isn't working.
cViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "prodMenu.h"
#interface cViewController : UIViewController <prodMenuDelegate>{
UIPopoverController *cpopover;
IBOutlet UIWebView *webImageDisplay;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIWebView *webImageDisplay;
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIPopoverController *cpopover;
- (IBAction)cPopoverTapped:(id)sender;
- (void) fetchWebsite:(NSString *)website; //This is the delegate method I'm trying to call in the popover class.
#end
cViewController.m
- (IBAction)cPopoverTapped:(id)sender {
prodMenu *tp = [[prodMenu alloc] init];
cpopover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:tp];
[tp release];
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(40, 0, 50, 50);
cpopover.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(250, 225);
[cpopover presentPopoverFromRect:rect inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
}
- (void)fetchWebsite:(NSString*)website{ //This function is called by prodMenu class
NSLog(#"address: %#", website);
NSString *urlAddress = website;
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webImageDisplay loadRequest:requestObj];
[webImageDisplay release];
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[self fetchWebsite:#"http://www.yahoo.com"];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
prodMenu.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#protocol prodMenuDelegate;
#interface prodMenu : UIViewController{
<prodMenuDelegate> delegate;
}
- (IBAction)radBtn:(id)sender; //This is the IBAction that calls the fetchWebsite function
#property (nonatomic, assign) id <prodMenuDelegate> delegate;
#end
#protocol prodMenuDelegate
- (void)fetchWebsite:(NSString *)website;
#end
prodMenu.m
#import "prodMenu.h"
#import "cViewController.h"
#implementation prodMenu
#synthesize delegate;
- (IBAction)radBtn:(id)sender{
[delegate fetchWebsite:#"http://www.google.com"]; //Here is the call to the method
}
Am I missing something here to call the delegate method? There aren't any errors or warnings. All I want to do is when the user presses a button on the popover view, the parent class underneath changes the webpage. Thanks in advance.

Just a quick idea. Have you tried declaring the delegate protocol like this
#protocol prodMenuDelegate <NSObject>
...
#end
? I often ran into troubles when omitting the < NSObject >. Also I think there is an 'id' missing in
#interface prodMenu : UIViewController{
<prodMenuDelegate> delegate;
}
Edit: Also, in the code you posted I do not see where you actually assign the prodMenu's delegate.
