Rails - Dec 2005 - Counting helpers through a view

I have a helper which will be placing certain tags through a view. 
These tags have "Element.toggle" sorts of relations, so I need to have
different id''s assigned to their HTML elements.

What I would like to do is somehow count them as they are installed in 
the view and reset at the top of the view.  My current thinking is:


--- In controller ---
before_filter :myhelper_resetcount

def someaction
end


--- In view ---
<%= myhelper_tag() %>
... Some stuff ...
<%= myhelper_tag() %>
... Some stuff ...
<%= myhelper_tag() %>
...

--- Results ---
<div id="helper_1"> .. </div>
... Some stuff ...
<div id="helper_2"> .. </div>
... Some stuff ...
<div id="helper_3"> .. </div>


Is there another way to do this?  Does this seem reasonable to use the 
''before_filter'' to reset the count?  It feels a little awkward
to me.
