In a similar vein... I've always wondered if there's a performance (or other) difference between using an iterating partial (e.g. with :collection =>) vs. an explicit iterator.
For example: <%= render :partial => 'item', :collection => @items %> vs. <% @items.each do |i| %> <%= h i.name %> <% end %> (I suppose there's also the case of writing an explicit iteration but using a partial inside the iteration) I assume (but haven't tested) that the latter case is more performant; but using the iterating partial feels more 'rails-ish' to me... dwh On Sep 30, 11:35 am, "Robby Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 7:54 AM, Phillip Koebbe > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I've been vacillating between using the :locals hash and instance > > variables when passing data to partials.
