send a notification from javascript in UIWebView to ObjectiveC

Question

I need to know what should be done to use JavaScript in a HTML sitting in UIWebView to notify Objective-C that something has happened?

To be more exact,

Answer 1

Actually for timing in iOS (maybe not for OSX?), if a second window.location call is made before the previous window.location call executes, then the first window.location call gets lost. I think the window.location call executes asynchronisely with the JavaScript after it is called, and if another call is made it before it executes, it cancels the first.

For example, when capturing touch events, I have seen ontouchstart not get sent via window.location, if an ontouchmove event occurs to quickly afterwards (such as in a fast finger swipe). Thus your Objective-C doesn't get the ontouchstart event. This is more of a problem on the original iPad than the iPad2, I assume because of processing speed.
