How to only disable the horizontal scrolling of UIwebView from within the iPhone app?

Question

I am making a iPhone app that needs to make a UIwebview that can only scroll vertically(I need to disable to the horizontal scrolling), I can't really do it from the website because that's not in my control. How to implement that?

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />

Do this either before you load the file into the web view or use stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:
