A little progress

Well today I made some real progress and I was able to debug one thing with some actual comprehension of what was going on.  The problem I was having is an activity indicator was not working.  I first realized that I had forgot to hook it to anything in IB.  Still nothing.  Then I thought about it and finally realized I had it hooked to the files owner controller.  I then realized that the files owner controller didn’t really know about the webview the activity indicator was suppose to be looking at.  So I hooked up the webview as a delegate of files owner and bingo, it worked.  To me this was the first step at real progress because I actually understood why something didn’t work on my own by thinking through the problem and in some little way its beginning to click with how things are hooked up.

Anyway today I was able to make a basic browser with back, forward, reload and an activity monitor.  I found a really good tutorial which helped with most of this.  http://icodeblog.com/2008/12/19/iphone-coding-learning-about-uiwebviews-by-creating-a-web-browser/
