Fetch html source code, edit it and load it with webview

[billybatigol]

Hi, am new to the iphone development and I have a problem to display a certain site that is essential for my app.
What I want to do is to display this site with no horizontal scrolling and with a text size that can be read without zooming in or out.
As far as I understand this is impossible without mess with the html source code.
But I have no idea how to fetch it, and most importantly how to modify it and with which tools I can do that.
And then how I can load that code in my web view.
I know that I ask to much but I want to learn how to do this stuff and I don't search for someone to give me a ready solution but to point me in the right direction.

This really seems like a bad approach. Why not just modify the webpage, or better yet create a mobile-friendly version of the website. There are plenty of tutorials on how to do that, like this one: 10+ useful code snippets to develop iPhone friendly websites | CatsWhoCode.com

I just read this link. But the site that I want to modify its appearance isn't mine. I can't modify it the way the article suggests right? I just want to make it iphone friendly inside my app. Are there other ways to do this?

I'm not sure really. You'd probably need to download the entire page first, save it locally, make changes then show it in a webview from the local file. But then it becomes more of a problem when you need to follow links from that page, or if it's dynamically generated (PHP/ASP) etc etc.
