Autorotation w/ Tab and Nav Bars

Question

I am having a problem with views not being properly resized after autorotation. My app has a tab bar where one of the tabs is nav controller. I have the autoresize masks to maintain edge distances and use flexible width/height.
Starting in portrait, if I switch to the tab with the nav controller and then rotate the device to landscape, the content view does not resize properly. Once the rotation animation stops, the top of the content view ends up obscured by the nav bar (it looks like the content view is being sized to fit between the top screen edge and the top of the tab bar rather than fitting between the bottom of the nav bar and top of the tab bar). The horizontal dimension updates as expected.
If I start in landscape and then switch over to the tab with the nav controller, the content view does correctly sit between the nav and tab bars.
I dumped the frame/bounds of the content to see if something jumped out at me and am only more confused. In both cases, the frame and bounds of the content view are origin at (0, 0), width 480, height 239? I was expecting to see the origin offset in the first case where things don't resize correctly.
Not sure what I am doing wrong...

Hello,
The answer is in the code. Can you post a link?
As a guess, the fix might be in setting the cell the
navigation is in to
vertical-align: top;
In design view, click in the cell that contains the
navigation.
Select the <td> tag in the tag bar at the bottom of the
design window.
The entire column containing the navigation should highlight.
In the properties window, select "Top" from the "vert"
dropdown choices.
In code view, find the cell containing the navigation.
Change the opening <td> to:
<td valign="top">
It really depends on how you built it. This could also be
caused by merged
table rows.
Take care,
Tim
