Resign keyboard immediately after button press - iphone

Question

I have a button, "getResponse", that makes a XMLRPC call to a server after you put in an IP address in a UITextField. Id like the "getResponse" button to first resign the keyboard if its up THEN make the call to the server.
As it is now, if the keyboard is up, it will make the call to the server, retrive the info or the error if no valid server found, THEN resign the keyboard.
I know its probably something very easy but I can't for the life of me figure it out. Any help would be great, thanks!

Instead of
[self serverInputReturn:self];
Try
[self serverInputReturn:self.serverInput];
You need to pass the UITextField not the UIViewController.
Make sure that you are setting the UITextField's delegate to the UIViewController via
self.serverInput.delegate = self;
