Rails - Apr 2005 - Capture with delayed evaluation?

Is there a builtin way to capture some HTML with various scripting in place?
Then render it later on in the page, and evaluate any scripting contained
therein at the time of rendering, and not the time of capture?

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

This is an interesting idea... My off-the-top-of-my-just-woken-up-head
suggestion would be to do something like building a string of ruby
code that, when eval''ed would use the XML::Builder object to build
some HTML for you....  I''m not sure if this is a good solution,
though; it depends on the context in which you''re going to be placing
this logic.

Well I looked at the existing code for capture, and it seemed like it would
be incredibly easy. Unfortunately this did not hold true in practice. My
current issue is where does the value _erbout come from, and does it matter?
The compiler tells me _erbout isn''t defined, but I can''t find
where it''s
defined in the existing code. I tried requiring ''erb'', but no
joy.
