iOS 7 input elements moving fixed positioned elements

Question

I'm trying to recompile an app for iOS 7, since nothing of the old one works so far. One of the many problems is that I'm using some inputs inside UIWebViews. Text inputs, pickers etc.

Now, when the iOS 7 shining white keyboard appears, all the bottom fixed elements in the webpage (such as, confirm buttons) are scrolled upward, as if the 'top' of the virtual keyboard is the new bottom of my UIWebView. This is a substantially different behavior from iOS6.x

Is there any magic trick to make the virtual keyboard behavior work like it used to, without injecting JS/CSS to the webView?

This fixed the problem for my cordova app. I'm not sure if it applies to you but just in case.

Check your html meta tags for something like this:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0">

Replace it with this:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, height=device-height, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, target-densityDpi=device-dpi" />
