Like Box Social Plugin iframe doesn't scroll in an UIWebView

I loaded the Like Box iframe code generated on Facebook into an UIWebView on my iPhone App. It works well, but when I scroll, it scrolls the UIWebView itself, and not the content inside the iframe. How can I block the UIWebView from scrolling (i.e the UIWebView takes the fullscreen frame) and allow the overflowed content of the iframe to scroll instead ?

ps : I tested a simple .html in MobileSafari.app and I have the same problem

You use two fingers in the like box instead of one. Then it scrolls.

You won't have much control over a plugin that is rendered as an iframe due to cross domain restrictions and they do not give many options to customize the appearance.

You could replace it with a Facebook like button. Then below it, you could add code that reads and displays the Fan Page feed using the graph api's page's feed connection (/pageId/feed). This would give you full control over the rendering and still gives the user the option to like your page. To improve performance of this solution you could use the Facebook real-time updates API to get notified when new updates get posted to the page and then you could pull those down and cache them.
