UIWebView manipulation

[thomasnat1]

I am developing an iphone app that displays web content on the iphone by way of webView. For each of the sites being displayed I need to hide something at the top and something at the bottom of the web view. Is there a way I can manipulate the content of the webview to only display the portions I want shown.

Thanks in advance.

the approach to manipulate the html code from your client is not the best, what I would consider is to make a php script that load the page and give in output the right portion....something server side....


However an approach is to use NSURLConnection or ASIHTTPRequest to download the page and then edit the stringResponse and then loading the result code with

[yourWebView loadHTMLString:htmlEdited baseURL:originalUrl];

but if you need to use cookies, get\post or any other advanced thing, can be hard to use this approach.

^+1. PHP would work best here. Don't mess with the webview.
