Unable to keep Table row is selected - ios

Question

In my app, I used a splitView. There are 3 different tables.
When I select any row from 1st Table, the display in the detail view & row remains selected in Left side menu. However, when I select any row from 2nd or 3rd Table, the row is just highlighted with blue color & quickly disappear the Selected blue (i.e. it does not remain Highlighted).
Help me solve this problem.
My code as follow:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier=#"CellIdentifier";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
if(tableView == tbl_class)
{
btnEdit1 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[btnEdit1 setFrame:CGRectMake(220, 15, 20, 20)];
[btnEdit1 addTarget:self action:#selector(btnEditPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[btnEdit1 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"edit-3-black.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
UIButton *btnDelete = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[btnDelete setFrame:CGRectMake(260, 15, 20, 20)];
[btnDelete addTarget:self action:#selector(btnDelete:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[btnDelete setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"recycle-bin2.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btnEdit1 setTag:indexPath.row];
[btnDelete setTag:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[classNames objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]valueForKey:#"class_name"]];
if(! isEditing)
{
[cell.contentView addSubview:btnEdit1];
[cell.contentView addSubview:btnDelete];
}
}
if(tableView==tbl_assessment)
{
if (classNames.count > 0)
{
[btnAddAssesst setHidden:NO];
}
else
{
[btnAddAssesst setHidden:YES];
}
cell.textLabel.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[assessment_list objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]valueForKey:#"assessment_name"]];
}
if (tableView==tbl3)
{
cell.textLabel.text=[arr_result objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}
cell.textLabel.font=[UIFont fontWithName:#"Trebuchet MS" size:17.0f];
cell.textLabel.textColor=[UIColor grayColor];
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)aTableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

Two things to do to keep the row as selected
-deselectRowAtIndexpath should not be there in didselectRowAtIndexpath
Keep an NSMutableArray of NSIndexpath for storing the selected value .When a row is selected add it to array and in the -cellForRowAtIndexpath method check the indexpath is there in cell and if it is there make [tablecell setSelected:YES]; otherwise NO
