iPhone|UIWebView: tabbed browsing by using NSArray?

Question

I want to code a small tabbed browser just for the fun. However I'm not sure how the tabbed thing works.

So this might be a noobish question:

can I store a current webView in an array? using: [array addObject:webView];

and if yes how do I load it into the webView again? maybe using: webView = [array objetAtIndex:anIndex]; will it appear instantly?

and is it possible to store the webView in and NSDictionary as value? (would be much easier to retrieve)

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You can store anything you want in an array (or dictionary). So assuming youll have n WebViews for n tabs, (this might take up a lot o f memory, i dont know never tried it), when user clicks on a tab, you can do something like

[activeWebView removeFromSuperView]
activeWebView=[webViewArray objectAtIndex:tabIndex];
//then add the active web view to the view controller
