Not sure about detecting when a specific button is clicked. However, in the
frameLoadDelegate of your webview, implements
'webView:didFinishLoadForFrame:'. Then, use some Javascript embedded in an
NSString like the following to access any item on the form:
returnString = [myWebView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:[NSString
stringWithFormat:@"document.forms[0].os0.value=\"%@\"", aValue]];
os0 here is the name of a textfield in the form. When the page is displayed,
the textfield contains 'aValue'. That works pretty well...
HTH!
