Ios webview calling javascript function wont work


My objective-c code looks like this:

NSString *test = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"testFunction(%@)", details.name];

NSString *userName = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:test];
NSLog(@"Web response: %@",test);

This prints out testFunction(the string of details.name here).

My javascript looks like this:

<script type="text/javascript">document.write(title);</script>

var title;

function testFunction(var) {
    title = var;
}

Solution

  • In the JS you closed the script tag in the first line leaving out the function

    your JS should look like this

        <script type="text/javascript">document.write(title);
    
    var title;
    
    function testFunction(var) {
        title = var;
    }
    </script>
