Display UIImageView under UITableView?

I'm going mad trying to figure out how to display an image of credit cards under a UITableView. You can see in my screenshot at Twitpic how I have my MainWindow.xib with a Root View Controller which should show RootViewController.nib. I have no idea why the image isn't displaying on the screen. You can see what shows up on the iPhone Simulator there. Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong here? I've been fighting with this for hours and this should be very simple! Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the last thing needed in this app before release! Thanks in advance.

I assume with "under" you mean below, vertically.
So your tableview's frame doesn't fit the whole screen.

Are you using a UITableViewController as your superclass?
The UITableViewController set's it's view to the table view and because of that, your imageview doesn't show up.
You'll have to use a UIViewController subclass.

edit:
I'd rather set the UIImageView to the tableFooterView of your table. Otherwise it won't scroll... design question.

Wow, the tableFooterView is exactly what I needed. Can't believe I overlooked it earlier. I found the code I needed on the iPhone Club and modified it to the following:

Code:

UIImage *footerImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"CreditCards.png"];
UIImageView *fView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:footerImage];
	
[self.tableView setTableFooterView:fView];
[fView release];
[footerImage release];

Works great, thanks so much!
