But, plowing on ahead... my understanding of render :partial is that it looks in the view folder associated with the controller for the template. If #create and #list_roles are in the same folder, you should be able to create a _list_roles.html.erb template which is referenced by the views for both the #create and #list_roles actions (via render :partial => 'list_roles'). The stuff that is identical between the two should go in the _list_roles.html.erb partial. So, create.html.erb could look like this: <%= render :partial => "list_roles" %> and list_roles.html.erb could look like this: <%= render :partial => "list_roles" %> <h1>This is the extra line</h1> I think I must be misunderstanding your question, since I feel like I just reiterated your original question. Anyway, that's my $.02. --wpd --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
