Skip to main content

iOS WebView > Display only main-content from a website including pictures



How do I fetch just the main-content part of a webpage and display it in an UIWEBVIEW? Link to the page





When I look at the code of the webpage I see that the 'What is new?' posts appear below:







<div id="content-header" class="clearfix">

<a name="main-content" id="main-content"></a>

<h1 class="title">Aktuell</h1> </div> <!-- /#content-header -->







Is it possible to relate to id="main-content within the UIWEBVIEW to display just this part of the website instead of the whole page?





Screenshot shows visually what I like to get.

P.S This is my code to display the whole webpage:







- (void)viewDidLoad

{

[super viewDidLoad];



NSString *golfClubURL = @"http://golfplatz-altenstadt.de";



NSURL *loungeURL = [NSURL URLWithString:golfClubURL];



NSURLRequest *myrequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:loungeURL];



[self.webView loadRequest:myrequest];



self.webView.scalesPageToFit = YES;

}

  1. The process to make this work is to load the URL in to a string, and then modify the string, and then send the string to display in the UIWebView.

    It will require you to parse the html. You will probably be best off cutting out just what part you want, and adding in a header and footer.

    You might want to look at NSURLConnection

    Do you own the website? You might want to create an alternative page of the site that shows a more mobile friendly version of the page. If it is a blog, or running something like wordpress there are plug-ins for mobile templates. This has an added benefit of giving a fast easy to read version of the site for anyone using any mobile device.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
