iphone - Getting data from uiwebview textfield

Solution 1

You can use [UIWebView stringByEvaluatingJavascriptFromString:] method and get the values by executing the javascript.

Example: If your html is:

<html>
  <body>
      <input id="myId" type="text" value="TextValue"/>
  </body>
</html>

Following code can get you the value of the text field:

   NSString* value = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.getElementById('myId').value"];

Solution 2

You can either poll a javascript function inside the page (using UIWebView stringByEvaluatingJavascriptFromString:).

Or you could call an objective-c method directly from the page using a little hack: UIWEBVIEW SECRETS - PART3 - HOW TO PROPERLY CALL OBJECTIVEC FROM JAVASCRIPT
(scroll down to the bottom for github-link).

Solution 3

If HTML response is this,

<html>
  <body>
      <input id="myId" type="hidden" value="TextValue"/>
  </body>
</html>

So you can access like this in Swift,

  var id:String = IBwebView.stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString("document.getElementById('myId').value")!
  println(id)
