Disabling mobile Safari's focus event (zoom)

Question

When clicking an input field on an iOS device, it will zoom in on that element. Can i disable this focus event?

Answer 1

I think you would be better to set the viewport:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no" />

See this thread

Answer 2

 document.getElementById("idOfInputField").onfocus = function(){return false;}

Answer 3

I put up this gist which solves the problem. https://gist.github.com/2008932

The accepted solution is not correct, as it will cancel focus altogether, which prevents data entry.
