How to determine the content size of a UIWebView?

Question

I have a UIWebView with different (single page) content. I\'d like to find out the CGSize of the content to resize my parent views appropriately. T

None of the suggestions here helped me with my situation, but I read something that did give me an answer. I have a ViewController with a fixed set of UI controls followed by a UIWebView. I wanted the entire page to scroll as though the UI controls were connected to the HTML content, so I disable scrolling on the UIWebView and must then set the content size of a parent scroll view correctly.

The important tip turned out to be that UIWebView does not report its size correctly until rendered to the screen. So when I load the content I set the content size to the available screen height. Then, in viewDidAppear I update the scrollview's content size to the correct value. This worked for me because I am calling loadHTMLString on local content. If you are using loadRequest you may need to update the contentSize in webViewDidFinishLoad also, depending on how quickly the html is retrieved.

There is no flickering, because only the invisible part of the scroll view is changed.
