titanium: Adding things to a scrollview - titanium

Question

So i have this code:
var answerView = Ti.UI.createScrollView({ //var added
top: Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformHeight*0.55,
left:Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformWidth*0.1,
width: Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformWidth*0.8,
backgroundImage: '/images/labelBackground.png',
borderRadius: 8,
height: Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformHeight*0.5,
contentHeight:'auto',
showHorizontalScrollIndicator:true,
scrollType:'vertical',
});
for (var j = 0; j < question.answers.length; j++){
var row = createRow(question.answers[j]);
answerView.add(row);
}
and this function:
function createRow(answer) {
var row = Ti.UI.createView({
width:'100%',
height: 'auto',
});
var answerButton = Ti.UI.createButton({
top: '1%',
left: '1%',
title: answer.answer,
value: answer.order,
width:'98%',
font : {fontSize:'12sp'},
});
row.add(answerButton);
return row;
}
The problem is, the darn thing overlays all the buttons into one... that is, it isn't "pushing down" the rows. From the titanium tutorial here:
http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/2.1/index.html#!/api/Titanium.UI.ScrollView
I would have thought this would work, but it doesn't. I know i can do some magic with the numbers and send each row the position it should have, but I thought maybe titanium would be clever enough to do that? Am i missing something?

Oh jesus.
Titanium is moronic in this instance - the problem was I had
height: 'auto' in the definition of each row - that is:
function createRow(answer) {
var row = Ti.UI.createView({
width:'100%',
height: 'auto',
});
...
And funnily enough, that makes each row REALLY BIG, probably as big as the entire space alloted for the row. I don't know, i never tried to scroll through it. So just change the height value for the row to something sane - i always base mine off the display height.
Now I have
function createRow(answer) {
var row = Ti.UI.createView({
width:'100%',
height: Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformHeight*0.1,
});
...
and all is well.
