iOS UIWebView/MOBGui overlay question

[Maarten Koopmans]

Though the SDKs for LC-iOS externals are currently not as stable(due to
Lion, Xcode), I suspect they will be soon. And then you create a navbar
external or so.

Still Cocoa/Objective-C but a whole lot less; with a bit of luck you can
find your nerdef code in a cookbook or on the web.

the page via JavaScript but not how to go in the other direction other than
catching browserLoadRequest with delayRequests set to true but that's going
to stop the sub-page loading in the first place.
