Set text for a textfield in UIWebView

I have a UIWebView and I want to set one of it's text field to certain text. Is that even possible? If so, how can I do that? Thanks

Solution

  • Yes you can set the text for a textfield in the UIWebView using javascript

    As an example if you have a textfield in this form

    <input id="textFieldID" type="text" value="TextValue"/>

    Setting value:

    [theWebView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.getElementById('textFieldID').value = 'Hello World'"]

    Getting value:

    NSString* value = [theWebView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.getElementById('textFieldID').value"];
