Have a look at the Rails Guide on Layouts and Rendering, particularly the section Using Partials to see how to pass local variables to the partial. Also have a look at the guide on debugging to get ideas on how to debug your code so that you can work out what is going on. I notice that you have asked for help twice before on this list and neither time did you reply to the suggestions offered or report whether you had found a solution. :( Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
