This is on iOS5 w/ a storyboard.

I’d like to have a UINavigationController on the UITableView below but when I try the “embed in” option, it adds it to the Red UIView, not on the table itself. For lots of reasons this is not optimal. Is what I want to do not possible: to have a table subview with its own nav controller?

Oh – while I am here – what is the deal with UINavigationControllers not being able to be resized in a storyboard? I can only set “form” “page” or “full” – when I set it to “freeform” I am not able to enter any values to resize it

    For lots of reasons this is not optimal

    Actually, for lots of reasons what you are trying to do makes no sense. A UINavigationController has embedded within it (in Storyboard terms) an instance of a UIViewController. In other words, the nav controller’s root view controller must be a view controller. Since UITableView is a subclass of UIView, you can’t embed it inside a UINavigationController. And besides, you would never want to. A UINavigationController manages a hiearchy of view controllers. What are you trying to achieve that you think you need to put a UITableView inside of a UINavigationController? What you are probably trying to achieve is to place the view controller that the table view sits on inside a UINavigationController, in which case the result you’re seeing in IB is the correct result.
