Use a HTML parser. This seems to be a good introduction: http://www.raywenderlich.com/14172/how-to-parse-html-on-ios. — Martin R, Jul 08 '13 at 08:40
@MartinR that article under the link looks a bit complicated... — Andrei Chevozerov, Jul 08 '13 at 08:49
You could use javascript if you have loaded the html into a web view. — Wain, Jul 08 '13 at 08:50

UIWebView has a method stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString: so if you have (or create) some javascript to navigate / manipulate / interrogate the page contents you can run it to obtain the result.
