On iOS 7 you can use the minimal-ui meta tag. Unfortunately, that was removed in iOS 8.
For iOS 8 there's a project called brim that is supposed to bring back the minimal-ui type functionality. It can be found here: https://github.com/gajus/brim

<script>
window.addEventListener("load",function() {
setTimeout(function(){
window.scrollTo(0, 0);
}, 0);
});
</script>
<style>
body { min-height: 480px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Content</h1>
