Question

I have a UIWebView (that has been sized to fully contain the html) and I want to put this web view into a UIScrollView along with a few other views.

If I set userInteractionEnabled = NO on the web view… it works perfectly except that I can’t tap on a link in the web view. But, if I leave userInteractionEnabled = YES on the web view… then, if the user swipes inside the web view rather than scrolling the UIScrollView it bounce the text around inside the web view (that’s inside the scroll view).

Any help on this?

Thanks!

Piecing together a bunch of other answers… this works really well for me:

if ([_webView respondsToSelector:@selector(scrollView)]) {
    _webView.scrollView.scrollEnabled = NO; // available starting in iOS 5
} else {
    for (id subview in _webView.subviews)
        if ([[subview class] isSubclassOfClass: [UIScrollView class]])
            ((UIScrollView *)subview).scrollEnabled = NO;        
}
