UIWebView, HTML and JavaScript

[Pyroclastic]

I have a local HTML page stored in the bundle which I am loading up into a UIWebView just fine.
In this HTML file are links to the JavaScript files that it needs, as shown below:

<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/someJavaScriptFile.js"></script>

Now, when I load this file on my Mac it works perfectly fine since the path "../js/someJavaScript.js" file is existent from the location of the HTML file.

I have copied the js folder (which contains all the js files) into the project bundle (same level as the html file) and changed the link to the JavaScript file in the html file to:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/someJavaScriptFile.js"></script>

However, this is still not working.

I am doing wrong something wrong?

Use the NSBundle:
NSString *path = [[NSBundle MainBundle] bundlePath;
NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPathath];

Load your html as an HTMLString:
[yourWebView loadHTMLString:theHtmlString baseURL:baseURL];

In your HTML file, refer to your js file as src="someJavaScriptFile.js", and not by some sort of file hierarchy used on a Mac OSX.

Thanks for your quick reply Ed, however, this still doesn't work. This is my code as follows:

NSString *myFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"myFile" ofType:@"htm"];
   
NSString *htm = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:myFilePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
    
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
    
[myWebView loadHTMLString:htm baseURL:baseURL];

And the hmtl page references the js file as follows:

<script type="text/javascript" src="someJavaScriptFile.js"></script>

Any ideas?

Sorry its not working.
Maybe it has to do with how your javascript file is being handled (a guess). Perhaps this StackOverflow post is germane to your query:
