You however don''t want to use the local variable createturing but the method of the same name. You can force a method call by saying createturing() instead of createturing Fred> > what changes do i need to make when i move it into the partial? > > btw: the function createturing is in a helper if that makes a > differance! > > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It''s because you''re trying to pass a local variable to a
partial, and that
won''t work. Change it to an instance variable or specify :locals =>
{
:variable_name => variable_name } in your partial.
