I have two navigationcontrollers a main one and a sub one. The sub one is displaying inside the main one, which I am also hiding its navigationbar.

as a result I am having some weird issues (things inside the view are being pushed down exactly the height of the navigationbar i am hiding) with the stuff I am displaying on the inside of the sub navigationcontroller.

it looks like this.

The left view is what I am doing in interface builder and the resulting view in the simulator.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: Here is the view with the subnav bar turned on so you can see the structure of my view.

and here is the same view with the subnav turned off...

can you see how the A is still sitting lower than it should be.. wel I think its because of the main navbar now as the whole subnavbar sits inside this view..

Last update that shows whats missing from the view
