Disabling the UIWebView "tap and hold" Popup

[Sensei]

In iPhone OS 3.0 a feature has been added to Safari and UIWebView components. When you tap and hold on a link for a second an action sheet pops up from the bottom of the screen giving you the option to open the link, copy the URL or cancel the operation.

I'm using a UIWebView to render rich text together with a couple of controls and this functionality doesn't really fit well there.

Is anyone aware of a way to disable this for the entire UIWebView, or perhaps for individual links using some kind of CSS attribute?

Thanks in advance!

Actually here's the answer. It might help someone else

Use CSS

-webkit-touch-callout:none;
}

Unfortunately this doesn't work for iPad (4.2). Does anybody know the answer how this feature can be disabled on the iPad platform ?

Thanks in advance,
