UIButton of type UIButtonTypeCustom will not display Title (iPhone)



I must have overlooked something completely obvious?? but my button displays its image and size correctly, but I simply can't get the Title to show up.





I did a really simple test, the Title does not even show up when I do this:







CGRect frameBtn = CGRectMake(160.0f, 150.0f, 144.0f, 42.0f);

UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];

[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"left_halfscreen_button.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[button setTitle:@"Hello" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[button setFrame:frameBtn];

NSLog(@"Title:%@", [button currentTitle]);

//prints "Title:Hello

[self addSubview:button];







I have a factory class that generates custom buttons for me and I thought I messed some detail up there, so I moved the above code directly into my UIView, the title is still blank.





Is this a bug or am I simply missing something right in front of my eyes.





Thank you for the extra set of eyes:)

  1. Image overrides title, you need to make the image a background image to show the title.


    [button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"left_halfscreen_button.png"]
    forState:UIControlStateNormal];

  3. I found the problem!

    It's not Image overriding the title. It is being push off frame by the image.

    Try use this:

    [btn setTitleEdgeInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, -img.size.width, 0.0, 0.0 )];

    Hope it helps!

  4. I had a similar problem that the title was not shown. I forgot to set the frame property:

    //set the position of the button
    button.frame = CGRectMake(100, 170, 100, 30);

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
