[EDIT] Hmm. Perhaps this question should be titled \"what is the default user-input dialog view called in CocoaTouch?\" I realize that I can create an entire view that is
Try putting in some (\n)s after the title in the UIAlertView initialization. That will push down the buttons. And I agree with Stephen here. There are chances that Apple might reject an app if it uses controls in a way they shouldn't be. (there's some clause in the Human Interface Guidelines about that!)
