Question

It could be a HTML question as well…

I have a UIWebView with a page (from the hand made html string) loaded. For the url link on the page, if you tap on it, it has gray as background, which I think is the default behavior on iPhone.

Is there a way to programmingly (thru javascript) change that to be other colors, say, blue? It doesn’t seem to work for me anyhow.

Answer 1

This can be done via CSS (no javascript is necessary) using the following rule:

a {
    -webkit-tap-highlight-color: blue;
}
