Question

Is there a way to capture clicks on links within a UIWebView. I want to find out the address that the user has clicked, but not actually go to the page.

Is this possible?

Solution

Yes there is a delegate method you're view controller can implement:

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