Rails - May 2005 - Help with render_collection_of_partials

I can''t figure out why this render_collection_of_partials
won''t work.
Hope someone can catch my mistake.

This works and is what I am trying to replace:

        <% @lists.each do |list| %>
        <tr>
          <td><%= link_to(list.category.cat, :controller =>
"product",
:action => "listings", :id => list.category.id) %></td>
         </tr>
        <% end %>

Here is what I am replacing that with:
<% render_partial_collection "layouts/list", @lists %>

and my partial (_list.rhtml)
<tr>
           <td><%= link_to(list.category.cat, :controller =>
"product", :action => "listings", :id =>
list.category.id) %></td>
        </tr>

The name of my partial is "list", so, my understanding is that rails
will use the name of the partial for each element, so list=list.

It doesn''t return an error; those rows just don''t populate
(meaning
the html doesn''t get rendered, like the "each" is null.

What am I missing?

Don''t forget ''='' character after
''%''

<%= render_partial_collection "layouts/list", @lists %>
