webview content question

[wolkje]

I'm having the following problem or trouble:
in my iPad app I have an custom webview running, which I start by using an url request etc. The user can scroll around in the webview and go to other sites if they click on a link.

The problem or trouble is that I want to let the user switch to full screen by tapping a button. I'm doing this by using a pushview controller and I don't know how to get the same state that the user was in like in the small webview.
For when the user went to another site in the small webview. I only got the url of the first one, which is hardcoded using the url request.

Is there a way to get the url address from the small webview and use that to open the full screen webview. I think it's possible, seen enough newsapp allowing you to send a web link from the article your reading.
Or is there another way?

My first thought is that you could implement the UIWebViewDelegate method:

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType

This method is called each time a new page is loaded in the webview, for example when the user clicks on a link as you mentioned above. You can use this method to save the NSURLRequest's URL and use that whenever you want to load your full-screen webview.

Thanks Smithdale87 for the fast reply. Currently I have the small webview in an IBOutlet and starting it with another button. So no use in delegate method. Still learning Objective C.
But with your suggestion I should make new class method for the small webview and put the above code in it as a required protocol. After this make a delegate with this new class (smallwebview).
