Answer 1

try this code

// 1) Get: Get string from “outline.plist” in the “DrillDownSave”-codesample.
savedUrlString = [item objectForKey: @"itemUrl"];

// 2) Set: The url in string-format, excluding the html-appendix.
NSString *tempUrlString = savedUrlString;

// 3) Set: Format a url-string correctly. The html-file is located locally.
NSString *htmlFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:tempUrlString ofType:@”html”];

// 4) Set: Set an “NSData”-object of the url-sting.
NSData *htmlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:htmlFile];

// 5. Gets the path to the main bundle root folder
NSString *imagePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];

// 6. Need to be double-slashes to work correctly with UIWebView, so change all “/” to “//”
imagePath = [imagePath stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"/" withString:@"//"];

// 7. Also need to replace all spaces with “%20″
imagePath = [imagePath stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"%20"];

//  Load:   Loads the local html-page.
[webView loadData:htmlData MIMEType:@"text/html" textEncodingName:@"UTF-8" baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"file:/%@//",imagePath]]];

I did not really try to load image to UIWebView but a google search gives me. I think your image string must have a good path and looks like a URL

NSString *imagePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
imagePath = [imagePath stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"/" withString:@"//"];
imagePath = [imagePath stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"%20"];

NSString *HTMLData = @"
<h1>Hello this is a test</h1>
<img src="sample.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" />";
[webView loadHTMLString:HTMLData baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"file:/%@//",imagePath]]];

NSString *pathForFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"fireballscopy" ofType: @"gif"];
    NSData *dataOfGif = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile: pathForFile];
    [Web_View loadData:dataOfGif MIMEType:@"image/gif" textEncodingName:nil baseURL:nil];

You may want to try assigning a delegate to the webview and implementing the method:

- (void)webView:(UIWebView *)webView didFailLoadWithError:(NSError *)error

To see more specifically what error you're getting. If it doesn't get called, implement the method:

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView

as well, just to make sure something is happening, otherwise there might be an issue with UIWebView (assuming you haven't returned NO from webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType:)
