• Hi Critter

  I don't recognise the code new Label; the Titanium API method for creating a new label is Ti.UI.createLabel().

  Bear in mind that the Titanium.UI.Label top property will position a view relative to its immediate parent. Try setting a background on your label's parent temporarily to have a better idea of how the label and its parent relate to each other.

  I'm afraid I would need to see the complete code to understand better what is going on.

  Hope this of some help anyway

• ah. sorry wasn't even paying attention to that.. I am using that redux script..

  but even if I create the label using the longhand method.. it still positions improperly..

  The view (parent of the label) has the background color of gray that you see in the picture…

  var studyList = new TableView({
          top:0, left:0, right:0,height:'70%', backgroundColor:'silver'
      });
      var bottomList = new View({
          top:'70%',left:0,height:'30%', backgroundColor:'gray'
      })
  
      var barIndex = 0;
      var btnSettings = new Button({
         title: 'Settings'
      });
      var mBar = new TabbedBar({
          labels:['Unfiltered', 'Unread', 'My Studies',,,,,'Previous 20','Next 20'],
          backgroundColor:'#336699',
          top:10,
          style:Titanium.UI.iPhone.SystemButtonStyle.BAR,
          height:25,
          index:barIndex,
          width:'99%'
      });
      var lineSep = new Label(
      {
          height:3,
          width:'100%',
          borderColor:'black',
          borderWidth:3,
          top:0
      });
      var lblPatientName = new Label(
          {
              text:'Patient Name:',
              left:5,
              top:10
          }
      );
          bottomList.add(lblPatientName);
      //bottomList.add(sep);
      //bottomList.add(btnNext);
      bottomList.add(mBar);
      bottomList.add(lineSep);
  

• bah. I just saw it… the label's height is not set.. so it's at 100%
