{
    UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.frame.size.width, 18)];

Answer 1

add this delegate method

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section;

in your case, return 18;

Answer 2

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section{
   if(section==0){
        return 50.0f;
   }
   else if(section==1){
        return 60.0f;
   }
   else{
        return 100.f;
   }

}
