Remove selection gray shadow from html input on iOS

问题

I'm currently working on html rich text editor for my iOS application,so,the setup is simple,i have a UIWebView loading my editor code,the html input is a 'contentEditable' DIV.

The problem is that every time i select this div to enter some text,a light gray frame appears on the input frame,telling the user that the textfield has been selected.

NOTE:You can see the effect in this quick video

My question is:How to remove this light gray frame?

My html file is bellow:

<html>

<head>

    <style type="text/css">

        :focus{

            outline:0px solid transparent;

        }

        DIV::-moz-focus-inner {
            background-color:#ff0000;
            border: 0;
            padding: 0;
        }

        ul{
            margin-left:-10px;
        }
        ol{
            margin-left:-10px;
        }

        blockquote {

            border-left:#ff0000 5px double;
            margin-left:0px;

        }

    </style>

</head>

<body onload="addImgAttributes();checkBlockquote();" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0">

    <div
        id="content"
        class="content"
        contenteditable="true"
        style="font-family: Helvetica; background-color:#fff; color:#000; height:258px;"
        autocapitalize="off"
        autocorrect="off"
        autocomplete="off"
        spellCheck="false"
    >
    </div>

</body>

</html>

After the comment of @StephenJ i realized that this gray frame might be a subview of the UIWebView and not a css property.I logged the view hierarchy from the UIWebView in the exact moment that the frame appeared,this is the log:

After analyzing all these subviews i found one named UIHighlightView,as the name confirm,this view might highlighting the webView.So my second question is:How to remove this view?

回答1:

It's as simple as setting the following CSS rule.

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

This makes the applied shadow transparent so it seems like it's gone.

Edit: Here's a demo link.
