Use this UIWebView method
– stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:
To use Javascript.
Then use "document.getElementsByTagName('a')" to get an Array of elements and do want you want (change the href, change the color etc.)

Is there a way to change the next/prev buttons? I want to use characters from my site's custom icon webfont instead of an external image like the default.
Thanks in advance!
You can specify a different previousIcon and nextIcon.
If that doesn't do it, you can modify the layout in your own afterOpen.

Annotating text in UIWebView

I am writing a app that has a UIWebView that displays a HTML5 page. I want to annotate some text on the web page and save it in SQLite database. The annotated text must be changed to a specific color as a visual effect.
Any suggestions that how can I select and get the text back in Objective-C?
You have two choices:
Parse the HTML5 document by hand
Inject Javascript into the page and walk the document. See Search and highlight text in UIWebView

Should I use UIWebView or UITextView to display text in an e-book reader app?

I want to make an e-book reader iPhone app. Should I use UITextView or UIWebView to display the text? Which control is used by other e-book readers?
I would use a UIWebView, as it gives you much more flexibility in the presentation of the text. According to the UITextView Class Reference:
This class does not support multiple
styles for text. The font, color, and
text alignment attributes you specify
always apply to the entire contents of
the text view. To display more complex
styling in your application, you need
to use a UIWebView object and render
your content using HTML.
Also, UITextView uses scrolling to display large amounts of text (it inherits from UIScrollView); in an e-book reader, you will most likely want to paginate the content, so you will not want the scrolling behaviour.
UIWebView is much better solution than UITextView mainly due to support of rich formatting of its contents. On the other hand you will miss some very important functions which you get for free while using UITextView. I'm talking mostly about searching inside, changing contents size etc. All of this is possible with UIWebView but it's not straightforward - css & javascript are for the help here
Did you get highlight functionality for this as font size can change. Save them for future so that when ever he came to same page can see them
U should use UIWEB view ,as to provide paragraph and other functions of text are not supported by text view, u can directly implement html code and can make the app with proper view of text. So my suggestion is to use web view.

Why would a link in a UIWebView leave a gray box behind?

I have a UIWebview that I am loading with custom HTML using loadHtmlString. My HTML has a link that I intercept when tapped so that I can take control and reload the UIWebview with a different HTML string. The code works, but the area where the link text was located is replaced with a gray rectangle that is visible when the new string is loaded.
What could be going on here? How can I get rid of this behavior?
//Scott
Here it is...need to add this style statement to the link reference:
<a href=http://yourlink.com/ style = "-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);">
Setting the alpha value (the last parameter to rgba) to 0 disables the tap highlight color.
Although this works, it feels like a hack. I really think the tap highlight should clear itself when my second loadHtmlString reloads new HTML code.
//Scott
You could add onclick="this.blur(); location.href=this.href;" to the link to remove the focus from the link.
I'm sure there's a better less hackish way, but this should work

Facebook - change background image of facebook app

Is it possible to change the background image of my facebook app? I tried adding a body tag in the css and set a background image. But the change is not reflected.
Any help? Thanks.
Its only possible by using extensions for your browser; for eg; use http://www.facebook.com/chameleontom
You can put your whole application in one div and define a background-image for the div.
This is IMHO the best workaround.
