Calling Webview from anther View Controller class

[ray10]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this as I come from C++ and Perl background. Trying to learn from books but they are missing some core concepts of Objective-C. I need some help on this code to pull a webpage:

RootViewController.m

- (void)fetchWebsite:(NSString*)website{
    NSLog(@"address: %@", website);
    
    NSString *urlAddress = website;
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
    NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    [webImageDisplay loadRequest:requestObj];
    [webImageDisplay release];
}

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [self fetchWebsite:@"website here"];
    [super viewDidLoad];
}

This code works just fine but what I'm having trouble is calling this method from another class, like the code below:

AnotherViewController.m

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    NSString *itemRequested = [conusItems objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    NSLog(@"logging: %@", itemRequested);

    RootViewController *parent = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
    [parent fetchWebsite:@"another website here"];
    
    [itemRequested release];

}

I click on the button on the table view and I see the code is being called in the RootViewController with the NSLog but it doesn't seem to display the new page. Any ideas? Thanks
