How to keep the display when keyboard appears on mobile web devices?

 To prevent the display from moving when the keyboard appears on mobile web devices, you can use the following techniques:


1. **Viewport Meta Tag**:

   Add or adjust the `viewport` meta tag in your HTML to control the initial scale and zoom of the web page. By setting the `viewport` meta tag's `user-scalable` property to `"no"`, you can prevent the page from zooming when the keyboard appears. Here's an example:


   ```html

   <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, user-scalable=no">

   ```


2. **CSS Fixed Positioning**:

   Use CSS to set elements, such as headers, footers, or navigation bars, to have a fixed position. This will keep them at the top or bottom of the screen, and they won't move when the keyboard is displayed. For example:


   ```css

   .fixed-header {

     position: fixed;

     top: 0;

     width: 100%;

     z-index: 999;

   }

   ```


3. **JavaScript Event Handling**:

   You can also handle JavaScript events to scroll the page content when the keyboard appears or disappears. This can help ensure that the focused input element remains visible. For instance, you can listen for the `focus` and `blur` events on input elements and adjust the scroll position accordingly.


   ```javascript

   // Example using JavaScript and the focus event

   const inputElement = document.getElementById('yourInput');

   inputElement.addEventListener('focus', () => {

     // Scroll to keep the input element in view

     inputElement.scrollIntoView();

   });

   ```


4. **CSS Scroll Snap**:

   CSS Scroll Snap can be used to create smooth scrolling behavior when the keyboard appears. This ensures that scrolling to an input element is visually seamless. You can use properties like `scroll-snap-type` and `scroll-snap-align` to achieve this.


Remember to test these techniques on various mobile devices and browsers to ensure a consistent user experience. The specific approach you choose may depend on your website's design and requirements.
