hello joel,
I did a little testing (php4) and it appears that as you say :
a view helper instance is not available in an element. It is of course
if you pass it as an argument of renderElement, but in this case the
variable name must be different from the helper's instance var name
(there is a recursion loop (it seems) if you do for instance $this-
>renderElement('myElement',array('pagination' => $pagination)); )
I don't ,know why it is different in php5 (according to your
testing).
I would tend to think that since elements are reusable they have to
have access to their own instance of the helpers declared in the
controller. The normal behaviour would be IMO to actually pass the
view helper instance to thee element if you need it there.
I might miss the point though and would gladly be enlightened.
