I have an embedded WebView in my Cocoa application in which I load an external web page. Each time the user clicks on a button, the view opens and shows the page.

The problem is that the second time the user opens the WebView, the previous page is still visible. Instead I'd like to show a blank/empty page (together with a progress indicator).

How can I clear a WebView before loading a new page?

The closest solution I could find was to call this:

[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.open();document.close()"];

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!
