Preventing an <input> element from scrolling the screen on iPhone?

Question

I have several <input type="number"> elements on my webpage. I'm using jQTouch, and I'm trying to stay fullscreen at all times; that is, horizontal scrolling is bad. Whenever I click an <input> element, the page scrolls right, showing a black border on the right of the screen and de-centering everything. The inputs are offset from the left of the screen, and they begin somewhere toward the middle of the page.

How can I prevent this scrolling on focus?

I just found the solution to this problem in this post Stop page scrolling from focus

Just add onFocus="window.scrollTo(0, 0);" to your input field and you're done! (Tried it with <textarea> and <input type="text" /> on the iPad, but I'm pretty sure it'll work on the iPhone too.)

I was afraid the scrolling would be visible as a flicker or something, but fortunately that is not the case!
