No response after submitting form on iPad from UIWebView

I am currently opening a webpage in UIWebView and submitting a form which performs a query on the server side and youtube video is returned (if available). I have no say/control over the server side implementation.

This webview works fine on iPhone/iPod, however, when I try to run the same app on iPad there is no response after submitting the form.

I created a dummy app, compiled on iOS 3.2 and problem is still there.

I put NSLogs 开发者_StackOverflowin webview delegate methods which shows that after the form is submitted (UIWebViewNavigationTypeFormSubmitted) nothing happens.

I'm unable to figure out why this happens only on iPad and not on iPhone/iPod Touch.

I have created the webview in IB and setting the URL is viewDidLoad

[viewTourWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.realestatetour.com/mobiletours.htm"]]];

The URL for reference is http://www.realestatetour.com/mobiletours.htm Enter the Tour ID as 10.

Thanks

The reason it wasn't working is because the form opens the result in a new page, (i.e. _blank) and apparantly all links opening in new window are ignored by uiwebview and its delegates.

I found 2 possible solutions for this:

1) Modifying the html using javascript to replace all _blank with _self for all anchor tags. (source)

2) A more elegant solution which works for handling links which open a new window. (source)

In my case i recreated the web page displaying form on the iphone app and changed _blank to _self.
