Iphone Keyboard Is Changing Zoom Scale of My Web Site

Anyone know how to prevent the zoom that happens when keyboard/spinner is displayed?

I do know that if you set meta tag viewport content to "user-scalable=no" then this zooming is not being done, but is there any way to prevent this anoying zoom without cutting all zooming functionality for users?

Thanks everybody!

Prevent zooming all together by adding this meta tag to your head tag :

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=0"/>

After some testing I found out that depending on viewport size zoom is not made. I mean when having viewport:

 <meta name="viewport"  content="user-scalable=yes, width=280px" />

With no maximum-scale, nor initial-scale, then safari browser wont zoom in when keyboard/spinner is displayed.

I do not understand very well this behaviour, as I would say that logical width to avoid this zooming should be 320px...

I wont mark it as answer, just in case someone wants to add more light to this issue...
