Stop UIWebView from "bouncing" vertically?

Does anyone know how to stop a UIWebView from bouncing vertically? I mean when a user touches their iphone screen, drags their finger downwards, and the webview shows a blank spot above the web page I had loaded?

I've looked at the following possible solutions, but none of them worked for me:

How do I stop a UIScrollView from bouncing horizontally?

Solution 
  • for (id subview in webView.subviews)
  if ([[subview class] isSubclassOfClass: [UIScrollView class]])
    ((UIScrollView *)subview).bounces = NO;

    ...seems to work fine.

    It'll be accepted to App Store as well.

    Update: in iOS 5.x+ there's an easier way - UIWebView has scrollView property, so your code can look like this:

    webView.scrollView.bounces = NO;

    Same goes for WKWebView.
