detect keyboard height on mobile

[Hakan at Exformedia.se]

What I do is to place every form control in a group and then when a control gets the focus you scroll the group so the field is visible, then when the keyboard is dismissed you scroll the group back to its original position. You can also add user scrolling to the group so the user can scroll up and down.
