Currently, when I click in a link in a CUSTOM URL, the page opens in the same webview. I would like to have a back button (in the top bar) so I can go back page by page. Thx Title Comments Hi, I would like to know, if it were possible to open a link in a new webview. Currently, when I click in a link in a CUSTOM URL, the page opens in the same webview.

It works on custom URL and maybe more. I lost the original link for his post, but I copied the content of his post a while back. Step 1) In the -(void)viewWillAppear method, add this code: UIBarButtonItem backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(navLeftTap)]; self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton; Step 2) Outside the curly braces (right after the viewWillAppear method finishes is fine), add this code: -(void)navLeftTap { [BT_debugger showIt:self message:@"navLeftTap"]; if([self.webView canGoBack]){ [self.webView goBack]; } else [super navLeftTap]; } I take no credit for coming up with this, it's all @chris1, but I can vouch that it works for me.
