This is actually an intentional limitation of all mobile versions of WebKit, and it's driving me nuts too. See: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?12772...

The official explanation I've seen is that it would be jarring to the user for the page to automatically zoom and/or scroll by popping up a keyboard when the user isn't expecting it. This might make some sense for websites, but unfortunately has a side effect of crippling web apps. :(
