How to set background color for UIWebView in iPhone sdk

Question

I added a back color as the image in uiwebview, but it goes to the back of the web view, not the web view. Web browsing is always displayed in white, I cannot change it.

myView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]]; myView.autoresizingMask=YES; webView = [[UIWebView alloc] init]; webView.backgroundColor=[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"BG_Doctor.png"]]; webView.delegate = self; [myView addSubview:webView]; self.view=myView; 

Please help me set the background color for web viewing not for him.

Answer 1

[webView setOpaque: NO];

Answer 2

Web browsing will display the document, so the background color really doesn’t make much sense here. If you want to display something while the page is not loading, create a placeholder page containing your background.

Answer 3

If you want to display a specific background before the UIWebView has loaded the HTML content, you can add a loading top view and then remove it when you get webViewDidFinishLoad in your UIWebViewDelegate:

 - (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView 

If you need to set the background color in the UIWebView after loading the content, you will do this in the HTML / CSS markup:

 "background-color: #026dec;"
