The iPhone function selectRowAtIndexPath doesn't work on UITableView when the item is offscreen

Question

It works fine when the cell to select is visible in the scroll area. If it's not in the currently visible scroll area, then it has never been loaded via cellForRowAtIndexPath, and it doesn't get selected. And isn't scrolled to. What's up with that?

This is on the iPhone 3.1.2 Simulator.

Thanks, Tom.

oh right i got it, it's because that function wasn't being called so i wasn't setting the selected index. facepalm.
