Can I remove Android default link styling in webview

Question

When you click a link in the Android browser, the target link area gets highlighted with an orange box by default. A longpress then opens up the context menu for link handling (copy, paste, new window, etc). Is there a way to disable either / both of these in webview? I'm using the highlight code in scriptaculous and the default android link styling is being laid over top of the effect.

The answer being: add this CSS * { -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); }.

Hopefully it is.

Answer 2

The suggested solution sets the color as transparent black:

* {
  -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}

Simply specifying the color as transparent should work:

* {
  -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;
}
