I have a problem after updating to iOS 6 that is driving me nuts.
It looks like any time I have the attribute "placeholder" on an input field, while rotating from Portrait to Landscape and back to Portrait again the page shifts some pixels on the left side causing a horizontal bar.
I concluded after long research that it has to be something related to the meta viewport because every time I use the content="width=device-width" all works fine.
P.S Yes I really need to have a percent width on the input so as to have liquid design:)
Here is the example to recreate the issue. Thanks...
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" name="viewport"/>
</head>
<body>
<div style="width:100%;background-color:red">
<input id="testInput" placeholder="test" style="width:90%;" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
