A couple of simple questions re: UIScrollViews

[MMS]

I have a productivity app with several detail views most of which are also scroll views with vertical scroll... when testing on my development device I noticed the following:

1. The scroll views do not "reset" to the top when a user moves between views and back again. ...I wish that they would.

2. The content size that needs to be set (e.g. as set in the viewdidload method scroller.contentSize=CGSizeMake(280,1000) ) always varies significantly from the scrollview size displayed in the interface builder library after I build a view. The content size that I need to set in the Viewdidload needs to be much larger in order for the scrollview to display properly on the device. (...Interestingly, I did not have this problem when I was just working with the simulator.)

If anyone knows anything about either of these issues, I'd really love to learn!

Thank you!!

Thoughts:

1. You can move it back to where it was with code....scrollto
2. Can you explain this a bit more...confused.

Thank you for writing. Yes, I can explain more:

I just build a view- coding for a scrollview, and then adding the scrollview and elements in interface builder. (And of course connecting the scrollview etc..) In Interface Builder, in the scrollview size window it tells me that the view is H: 1230. But if I set the contentsize in the viewdidload method to (280,1230), then build and run the app on my iPhone, I can not scroll through the entire view. (e.g. it doesn't make it all the way to the bottom.) So, I had to set the contentSize at 1700 and now it scrolls perfectly.

I am concerned because this didn't happen in the iPhone simulator...and now I'm wondering if it's going to perform on other devices the way it performs on mine or the way it performs in the simulator.

It feels like a lot of random guesswork...and that feels wrong.
