The problem was that my WebViewController had an empty stub "loadView" though the actual work was done in ViewDidLoad. When i read the documentation it does say that when you load a ViewController using initWithNiBName use ViewDidLoad and not loadView. But i did not know that an empty loadView coul

Not to sound too much like tech support, but did you wire up your instance of a UIWebView in your xib to an IBOutlet property in your view controller? I tried this scenario out juts now and it behaved as expected with // Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view

Hi, I agree that IB is useful but sometimes does not work as expected (mostly because i am doing something wrong). I am new to Cocoa Application development and perhaps takes times to get used to it. Recently i was trying to use UIWebView (one of the views in my navigation hierarchy). And my view

Martijn - I don't necessarily know that I'd agree with that though it could be because I'm more accustomed to IB than programmatic layout. In general, anything you'd represent in code as a UIView subclass is something you'd create in a xib file in Interface Builder. That xib file would

Hi all, I'm looking to implement a user selection from a large number of items contained in a deep hierarchy (a taxonomy of species) for the iPhone. The hierarchy is too deep for a drill-down of TableViews, so I thought a control like the App Store iPhone application's Search tab would be a good id
