UIWebView gets HTML source

Question

I am trying to get the HTML source code of a UIWebView without reloading it (for example, doing another loading, for example [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:(NSURL*)URL] ) or running NSURLRequest. Looking through the title and documentation of the UIWebView, there seems to be no way to access the currently loaded NSData source. Did I miss something?

Answer 1

The reverse should do what you want. That is, load the URL into the NSData object and then load the UIWebView from this object using – loadData:MIMEType:textEncodingName:baseURL:

Answer 2

UIWebView can execute javascript code, so this may work.

 NSString *html = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.documentElement.outerHTML"];
