  <script language=""javascript""> function func(){alert(""hee"");}

But alert not shown in iphone . Any one help me ? Thanks in advance.......

There is no straightforward way to call objective-c code from within page loaded in UIWebView.

The only way is to intercept loading of dummy-pages in UIWebView's delegate (– webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType:). There you can make decisions based on request.URL.

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView*)_webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest*)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
    NSArray *components = [[[request URL] absoluteString] componentsSeparatedByString:@":"];
    if ([components count] > 1 && [[components objectAtIndex:0] isEqualToString:@"objc"]) {
        if ([[components objectAtIndex:1] isEqualToString:@"someFunctionality"]) {
            // Do something
        }
        return NO;
    }
    return YES;
}

You can trigger those requests by clicking a link, submitting a FORM, or from JavaScript by setting the window's location like this: window.location = "objc:someFunctionality";.
