StoryBoard

Are you using Storyboard ? Do you have a xib file called DeatailViewController ? — Ali Abbas, Jul 03 '14 at 07:11
Do you have a View Controller in your storyboard with a DeatailViewController class ? — Ali Abbas, Jul 03 '14 at 07:14
Great. If you are using storyboard, you shouldn't use initWithNib. You can use segue directly in your storyboard to associate the cell of your table view to your detail view controller OR you can give an identifier to your Detail View Controller in storyboard and make this : DetailViewController *temp = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Name Of your Storyboard" bundle:nil] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"Identifier of Detail V C"]; — Ali Abbas, Jul 03 '14 at 07:19
if u r used in storyboard, u can't use the load nib file , it alway s showing error, u need to identify with identifier name or storyboard name of the particular VC name, use this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23102978/swrevealviewcontroller-without-using-navigationcontroller/23105142#23105142 — Anbu.Karthik, Jul 03 '14 at 07:22

This line raise the exception :

DetailViewController *temp =[[DetailViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"DeatailViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];

The line above initialise a view controller with a nib file(.xib)

As you say in your comment, you are using storyboard so you should use UIStoryboard Class

UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MyStoryboard" bundle:nil];

UIViewController *viewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"DetailViewController identifier"];

Now, to get the identifier of your view controller :

Open your storyboard
Click on your view controller (Detail view controller here)
On the right side : Utilities, click on show the identity inspector (third button)
In the storyboard ID field, put the identifier (DetailViewController identifier for example)

Edit :

I think that the name of your storyboard is wrong. In your project you have a file called Main.storyboard or somethingElse.storyboard, so you should replace storyboard in this line :

UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"storyboard" bundle:nil]; by Main or somethingElse without the .storyboard extension

Then you replace DetailViewController identifier in this line UIViewController *viewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"DetailViewController identifier"]; by the identifier of your view controller (story in your screenshot)

thank for you advance. now i've got my Error but problem is when come to if(indexPath.row==0){ } // code section the desired DetailView controller isn't navigate as it is.how can i fix it.i think i'm having problem with get a id and story board's -> ViewController's UIWebview — VenushkaT, Jul 04 '14 at 14:11
can you update your post please with the new code's version ? — Ali Abbas, Jul 04 '14 at 14:20
could you please find my Edited one.still i couldn't solve story board matter.thank you for you advance so far. — VenushkaT, Jul 05 '14 at 03:05
You should put Main and not Main.storyboard in this line : UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main.storyboard" bundle:nil]; — Ali Abbas, Jul 05 '14 at 15:19
AB thank you for your Advance it works me. i have accepted your Answer with previous my vote.thank you very much (Y) — VenushkaT, Jul 05 '14 at 16:19

DetailViewController

@property(nonatomic,retain)NSString *myurl;



- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    NSURL *url= [NSURL URLWithString:myurl];
    NSURLRequest * requestURL= [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    [info loadRequest:requestURL];

}


Essentialinfocontroller

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

if(indexPath.row==0){ //what ever you want row 


     DetailViewController *temp =[[DetailViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"DeatailViewController" bundle:nil];

     //or [[DetailViewController alloc]init];


     temp.myurl = @"http://www.google.lk";

      [self.navigationController pushViewController:temp  animated:YES];

}


}
