Show Local Image in UIWebView

In order to load an image from within the app into your UIWebview, the webview needs to have the correct base url.

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
[webView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:baseURL];


With the correct base url, the images can be loaded relatively with:



Or in CSS

.someBG {
    background: url(theImage.png);
}
