UITextField in UITableView cell is returning null?

The textField variable (I assume it is an ivar in the class or a static global variable) is your main problem. You create a new text field each time you create a new cell, which is fine, but then you add it to a cell every time the cellForRowAtIndexPath method is called. Since cells are reused this will screw things up.

Create a custom cell to place your text field, for the love of god. You shouldn't have addSubview: related code in your tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:; just code that allocates the cell, and configures the cell enough so that the cell itself can display things they way you want them.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
