The blog post given by graver explains it how to do it. 

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView2 
      shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request 
      navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType

If you have the above method in your class, this method will be called before a new page is loaded. Only if this method returns YES, the new load request is processed. We use that mechanism to communicate back to the Objective-C functions.
