Simulate Tapping Done Button

Question

I have a UIWebView and when I have the keyboard up after entering in data, I want to be able to programmatically dismiss the keyboard, and hit the return key to load the next page. Is there anyway to do this?

Some Ideas: • Faking a tap on the Done Button • Sending a Carriage return via JavaScript

I have tried these but haven't been successful.

Is the done button in UIWebView or not? – tangqiaoboy Mar 23 '12 at 08:33 — tangqiaoboy, Mar 23 '12 at 08:33

Maybe you can use the [UIWebView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString] method to achieve it.

You can use the above method to exec a javascript, the script can be a submit form command. Here is some example:

NSString js = @"document.forms[0].submit()";
[self.webview stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:js];

Hope it helps.

Have you tried the usual trick for hiding a keyboard?

You could try resignFirstResponder on the webview.

yes, but I need to submit the web form, like the done button in the UIWebView does. – Matthew Knippen Nov 08 '11 at 17:24
a simple form submit will not work either, because it is not always a form. It needs to simulate the exact code that the done button does within the web view. – Matthew Knippen Nov 08 '11 at 17:47
