I created a small application for an iphone, it has a few numeric entry fields for data entry.

When you click on the numeric entry field, the app kind of zooms in a bit on the entry you clicked, after you put the number in the screen stays focus and I have to zoom out to get back to the original screen size.

How can I disable the zooming on the entry field when its selected. or do you have a different way to get around it? Thanks!

Not tested, but CSS allow to specify zoom, I would try to set it to 1, on the root of the main view

i want to disable the zoom, I would prefer to edit the numeric entry without the screen bouncing around.

I also find it annoying that the screen moves left to right while you touch it. I'm sure there are some settings to disable that too. thanks

This is an iphone "feature" that zooms in when text font is below 16px  
increase text font of your elements to 16 or above
