Help us out a little here - which code? how does it fail (error messages, etc)? did your original browser work?

    // Only report feedback for the main frame.
    if (frame == [sender mainFrame]){

If you are getting errors about the web view, are you including the WebKit.framework? You aren't going to get much help if people have to guess. Is textField connected to a text field somewhere? Do you even have a working browser?

Are you importing it?

The fragments of code you've posted don't show any importing of the Webkit framework. Also, the error message you posted is consistent with failing to import.

See this thread:
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1077607/

Notice he imports Webkit headers. Also notice he posts relatively complete code, rather than isolated lines. We can't see what's wrong with your code if you don't post complete code.


Are you following a tutorial or book? If so, what is the URL or title, author, and edition?

If not, what other tutorials or books have you completed?

At this point, it looks to me like you lack fundamental skills. You won't get very far without them, and learning them within the structure of a tutorial or book is more effective than randomly attempting something just because you want to. For example, if I want to fly a helicopter, I can't just hop in the cockpit and take off. I'll need training and practice first.
