I know that you can detect link clicks in a UIWebView with:

UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked

and easily access the url, i also know that you can:

return YES or return NO

if you want to advance to the next page or not...but is there a way to use a UIAlertView to determine if the use wants to return YES or NO?

This can be done. When you get the link in the webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType: delegate method, save off the URL, display the alert view, then return NO from the delegate method.

If the user taps the YES button on your alert view, use the saved URL to load a new request in the web view.

  • i forgot to mention that the link that will be clicked will be loaded in a iframe thats already in the document within the UIWebView. is it still possible? – Zach Jul 30 '13 at 20:19
  • Not sure about that. Perhaps this can be done with some Javascript. – rmaddy Jul 30 '13 at 20:21
