iOS 6 multiple UIWebViews: Javascript only runs in one

Question

An iOS 6 iPad app shows content in two UIWebViews. If both web views contain a jquery image rotator, only one will work at a time. Running < iOS 6, both work properly.

Answer 1

JavaScript works in multiple UIWebViews but it depends on the JavaScript. Using JQuery or other external JavaScript code can be a problem in case you link it with a href. You can solve these issues by copying the code of all external JavaScript libraries into your web page HTML. This is the reason why simple JavaScript works fine. Example:

This is a UITableView with a UIWebView in every UITableViewCell. In webViewDidFinishLoad i do [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.write('hey hallo'+new Date().getTime())"];

Answer 2

Have you tried making one WebView the size of your 3 webViews and the using 3 iFrames inside that 1 UIWebView that load each javascript enabled page?
