Call Javascript which is embedded in iOS app

Question

I don't know if that is possible but is it possible for i.e to embed a javascript call inside a webpage and have an app which contains an uiwebview run that javascript code?

i.e the webpage calls a dofoo function but the dofoo javascript code is actually inside the iOS app. I know you can run js code in ios7 inside the app but would that work?

Add your javascript code to the web page.
Load the webpage into a UIWebView (i.e. myWebView).
Call the javascript function from the code:

[myWebView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"myJavascriptFunction()"];

Hi , thanks for the response. What I want is the webpage to call the Javascript code which is not sitting on the webpage.

If i've understand, you should put inside <head>...</head> the path to your javascript file <script src="path/yourScript.js"></script>.
