Xcode UITableView Row not highlighted when selected - iphone

Question

I have a working table view on my iphone app, and am implementing a second view using navigationController.
But when I try to select a cell on the initial view, it does not respond i.e. no highlighting in blue, no selection.
Can anyone suggest what I might have missed, or what is responsible for actually selecting the cell when the user taps it?
OK thanks for your suggestions - still no luck. here is my code:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier]autorelease];
[cell setSelectionStyle: UITableViewCellSelectionStyleBlue];
UIView *selectionView = [[[UIView alloc] init] autorelease];
selectionView.backgroundColor =[UIColor redColor];
cell.selectedBackgroundView = selectionView;
}
// format text
cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial" size:12];
cell.textLabel.text = [tableArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
//NSUInteger row = indexPath.row;
//[DetailView selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
//UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath.row];
//[cell setSelectionStyle: UITableViewCellSelectionStyleBlue];
DetailView *detailView = [[DetailView alloc] initWithNibName:#"DetailView" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailView animated:YES];
[DetailView release];
}

Answer 1

May be you have done this line of code in cellForRowatIndexPath::
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
If yes, then replace it with either of these:
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray;
or
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleBlue;

Answer 2

Without looking at your code I would say you have to add this line in your cellForRowAtIndexPath delegate method.
[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleBlue];
And also you have to implement this delegate method which gets called when you tap on cell of UITableView..
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
}
