UIWebView prevents UITableView to scroll

Question

I have a cell in my UITableView with a UIWebView. The problem is that if you swipe on the UIWebView you swipe throughout the internet page, and not the table view. Since the web view has a hight of 500, it is possible that the user is stuck in the web view. Does anyone have any ideas in how to solve the problem?

Answer 1

Beginning with iOS 5, there is a scrollView property on UIWebView, so you can just do the following on your web view:

webView.scrollView.scrollEnabled = NO; 
webView.scrollView.bounces = NO;

Then you should be able to scroll just fine. No need to disable interaction on the web view, unless you don't want the user to be able to interact with it at all.
