Disable WebBrowser gray feedback rectangle when tapping links

Question

When tapping on a link in the Windows Phone WebBrowser control, there's a semi-transparent gray rectangle that shows up to give feedback to the user. In my application (which is based on Cordova) I need to remove this feedback rectangle to give a more native experience for users.

Is this possible to do? If yes, then how can I do it?

I already searched the WebBrowser api but didn't find anything related to removing this behavior.

Try adding to your page:

<meta name="msapplication-tap-highlight" content="no" /> 

For a css solution try one of these:

a:active{
   background-color:transparent;
}

or

a:active{
   background: none;
}
