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

Question

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

You can achieve this using CSS:

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

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

 - (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
  {
     [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.body.style.webkitTouchCallout='none'; document.body.style.KhtmlUserSelect='none'"];
  }
