Answer 1

Send the following message to the button object to enable/disable:

// Enable 
[myButton setEnabled:YES];

// Disable
[myButton setEnabled:NO];

To determine whether you should show these buttons you should check the following properties on the webview:

[myWebView canGoBack];
[myWebView canGoForward];

You'll want to check these whenever the user loads a page. To do so implement the UIWebViewDelegate method webViewDidFinishLoad:

-(void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
  // Enable or disable back
  [myBackButton setEnabled:[myWebView canGoBack]];

  // Enable or disable forward
  [myForwardButton setEnabled:[myWebView canGoForward]];

 }
