iphone sdk: How to get rid of the action sheet in UIWebView?

Question

Hi guys

I have a UIWebView and when I press a textual link (for at least a second) some kind of UIActionSheet appears with 3 buttons (open, copy and cancel) - Is there a way to prevent it from appearing?

Thanks

Answer 1

Apparently no. In the documentation, neither UIWebView nor UIWebViewDelegate expose some method or property to avoid this behavior.

Answer 2

You can achieve this using CSS:

* {
   -webkit-touch-callout:none;
}
