How to make a transparent UIWebView

I recommend:

webView.opaque = NO;
webView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

(setting these properties in Interface Builder will work for iOS 5.0+, but for iOS 4.3 you must set the backgroundColor in code)

And include this into your HTML code:

<body style="background-color: transparent;">

Use the recursive method below to remove gradient from UIWebView:

[webView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[self hideGradientBackground:webView];


- (void) hideGradientBackground:(UIView*)theView
{
  for (UIView * subview in theView.subviews)
  {
    if ([subview isKindOfClass:[UIImageView class]])
      subview.hidden = YES;

    [self hideGradientBackground:subview];
  }
}
