UIWebView loadHTMLString shows blank screen

Question

I have a strange problem with UIWebView\'s loadHTMLString, where it would only display a blank view when I called loadHTMLString with my content HTML string. It does not matter

Answer 1

After a bit of detective work, I found out that returning NO in the delegate function

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType

will reject loadHTMLString requests. Returning YES solved my problem.
