UIWebView contentInset without extra height at bottom

Question

I'm creating a view controller that uses a web view which slides behind the navigation bar and status bar. To do this, I'm setting the webView.scrollView.contentInset property to have a top inset of 64.

However, this doesn't shrink the amount of area the web view wants to take up, so if a page is less than a screenful, it has 64 px of white space at the bottom to scroll through. The web views are in a vertical UIPageViewController, so this disrupts paging. Is there some way to get rid of this extra space?

Answer 1

Have you tried something like adjusting the webview's scrollview content insets? Example:

    webView.scrollView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0,64, 0)

Answer 2

It sounds like what you need is to adjust the webView.scrollView.contentSize and adjust the height by 64. You may need to provide more information about how it slides behind the nav bar and status bar to help me answer this. I would take a look at this section of the Scroll View Programming Guide:

Answer 3

Change the clipsToBounds.

webView.clipsToBounds = NO;

This will make its content visible outside its frame, so set its frame like normal, right under the navigation bar. The navigation bar will be translucent and you will see its content under it.
