## NoScrollOnInputFocusiOSSafari.html
<!--
  When an input element gets focused, iOS Safari tries to put it in the center by scrolling (and zooming.)
  Zooming can be easily disabled using a meta tag, but the scrolling hasn't been quite easy.

  The main quirk (I think) is that iOS Safari changes viewport when scrolling; i.e., toolbars shrink.
  Since the viewport _should_ change, it thinks the input _will_ move, so it _should_ scroll, always.
  Even times when it doesn't need to scroll—the input is fixed, all we need is the keyboard—
  the window always scrolls _up and down_ resulting in some janky animation.

  However, iOS Safari doesn't scroll when the input **has opacity of 0 or is completely clipped.**
  We can make use of this behavior. There are two possible workarounds, as shown below.

  An upside to this approach beside being simple is that sniffing the User Agent string
  to recognize iOS Safari might be no longer needed.
