Is there a way to disable the zoom feature on input fields in webview?

Question

When a user clicks in an input field or textarea, the application zooms in. Is there a simple way to disable it?

Currently have the meta tag:

meta name=\

I've got the same problem (on an HTC Incredible), and haven't found a good fix yet. But, one thing I did notice that if you use the Google mobile site (http://google.com/m) you don't get this behavior, I'm trying to figure out why that's the case.

I've tried all the fixes mentioned on stackoverflow that I could find, including on this thread and nothing that I've found works so far.

One crappy fix I've found the works is to set the initial scale to 150 (1.5X) and then scale your website accordingly then you also don't get this zooming behavior - maybe because it wants a zoom level of 1.5X when you click on a text input and if you're already at that zoom level then nothing happens? But, this feels super hacky and probably isn't robust across all phones.
