Iphone Safari Auto-zooms on Input selection

[csytan]

When you select an input (such as a text input) in Safari on the Iphone, the viewport zooms in and does not return to normal size when editing has been completed. Two double taps are required to return to the initial viewport size.

Normal size, no zoom:

After input selected, zoomed:

Here are some possible solutions to this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2989263/disable-auto-zoom-in-input-text-tag-safari-on-iphone):

1. Disable zoom in meta tag
2. Use js events to change meta tag dynamically
3. Set font-size for inputs to 16px

Changing the font size (#3) seems like the easiest and most reliable way to do this.

How about not optimizing things for mobile webkit?

Since this is default behavior for Mobile Safari, I'm inclined not to mess with it.

@andriijas: no need to get to snarky about an honest question like this :).

The easiest way is to set "tabindex=0" for div at top of page. It works for me.

I know this is long closed, but maybe can we have the default font size of inputs 16px or larger?
