Link from an HTML file to a view

I have an HTML file that's loaded from a UIWebView. I'm looking to do the opposite - link from the HTML file to a different view controller. How would one go about doing this?

the html file is a local file within the app.

thanks for any help.

You can do this by adopting UIWebViewDelegate protocol and implement the webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType: method. Here you can capture all requests and selectively use them for your purpose.

Define links such as yourapp://yourviewcontroller/argument within the HTML page and parse them in the above mentioned delegate method and load the appropriate view controller.

Sorry for the short answer, but there are a lot of parts to this. Check out this link.

It looks like you might have to register the url with Apple. I know that for the maps application its able to do urls like map://... and I've seen other apps do it too, I just don't know the exact process.

Update: looks like this exampe from Apple should help.
