iOS : WebView Background color to transparent

Question

What I want is set the background color of webview to transparent.

Below is the code I am using for webview.

NSString *embedHTML = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<html><body style=\"background-color: transparent;font-family: verdana;\"><h3>About US</h3></BODY></HTML>"];
[webView loadHTMLString:embedHTML baseURL:nil];

However when I use this, I still see background color as WHITE. Any idea how to get color to transparent?

This is all it should take,

[webView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[webView setOpaque:NO];

[webView setOpaque:NO]; is the key – TS.xy May 04 '15 at 21:58

Just add this line.

webView.opaque=NO;
