iOS 7 - is there a way to disable the swipe back and forward functionality in Safari?

Question

For some web pages we use the swipe left and right functionality of iPhone to pull up the menus. Now with iOS7, they have introduced the ability to go back and forward to previous and next pages of browser history on swipe left and right motions.

But is there a way to disable it for specific pages so as to not have conflicting behavior on the swipe actions?

Answer 1

No, this is done at the OS level, and webpage doesn't get any callback
