title: Telling a UITextField to become first responder while embedded in a UITableViewCell
body: <p>I have a <code>UITextField</code> that is a subview of a <code>UITableViewCell</code>.</p>
  
  <p>When my view loads, I want the text field to become first responder. I have a pointer to the text field in the table cell, so to do this I am trying:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[myTextField becomeFirstResponder];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This returns <code>NO</code> all the time, regardless of when it's called, which according to the docs means the text field refused to become first responder... What am I doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Edit:</p>
  
  <p>The <code>textfield</code> properly responds to being touched. It bring up the keyboard then. It's only when telling it to <code>becomefirstresponder</code> programmatically that the problem happens.</p>
