cell.selectedBackgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"myImage.png"]];

In the above piece of code you forget to autorelease; also have you set the delegate of the tableview? Set a breakpoint on the tableview:didselectRowAtIndexpath method to check if it is called or not.

BTW your code seems right.

how about tables with multiple sections? if i use the above code, cells that are rounded (the first and last in every section) will have a rectangle on finger over which doesn't look good. – Alex Jun 29 '11 at 11:49

You can change the selectionType of UITableView

using

cell.setSelectionStyle = [UITableViewSelectionStyleGray/Blue/None] (only 3 types)

some syntex error in above code try with proper syntex

by default it will be blue...
