pushNavigationController on iOS 5 messed up my UINavigationBar when I pop back to the previous view controller



My main view controller only supports landscapeleft and landscaperight. This viewcontroller in the viewDidLoad has:







if ([self.navigationItem respondsToSelector:@selector(leftItemsSupplementBackButton)]) {

self.navigationItem.leftItemsSupplementBackButton = YES;

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = homeBBI;



NSArray *rightNavItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:searchBBI, allBBI, nil];

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = rightNavItems;

}







When I push my ReportViewController onto the stack, it looks fine. This controller also supports landscape only.







- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation

{

return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);

}







When I rotate the iPad 180 degrees, all looks fine. However when I pop to the main view controller, the UINavigationBar gets messed up. It basically has all the items, including the title squished to the left. The search bar I had ends up taking up 75% of the navigation bar. I created it like this in viewDidLoad of my MainViewController:







// Search Bar

UISearchBar *searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 150, 44)];

self.SearchEntry = searchBar;

self.SearchEntry.delegate = self;

UISearchDisplayController *searchDisplayCtlr = [[UISearchDisplayController alloc] initWithSearchBar:_searchEntry contentsController:self];

self.SearchController = searchDisplayCtlr;

searchDisplayCtlr.searchResultsDataSource = self;

searchDisplayCtlr.searchResultsDelegate = self;

UIBarButtonItem *searchBBI = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:_searchEntry];







This does not happen in iOS 4 since I create a UIToolBar and put that as my rightBarButtonItem. Now that I'm trying to use the rightBarButtonItems iOS 5 method, I get this problem. Any thoughts? Thanks.





Edit: This also does not happen if i pop to my MainVC without rotating the iPad. It only happens if I rotate.

  1. Did you set autoresizing masks so that the toolbar knows to resize? I imagine so if it rotates fine without the other MVC on top.

    I have had similar issues with this, in particular ensuring my main VC rotates correctly when it isn't on screen. I'm not sure if my solution is great, but it works. When returning from another view, I check if my bounds changed and if so, clear my view (enumerate subviews and removeFromSuperview), then load them all again. Basically, keep everything you have in viewDidLoad in another method and call it from viewWillAppear. The drawing is super fast so you won't even notice it on screen.

    Not elegant, so I'll be watching to see if anyone has a better solution.

    Good luck,

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
