Rails - Feb 2006 - formhelper methods don''t work with render collection partials

I''m rendering a partial using a collection:

<%=render(:partial=> ''record'', :collection =>
@records)%>

Inside the partial, I''m attempting to create a new form for each row,
generating elements like the following example:

<%= text_field "record", "name" %>

However, though my objects are fully populated, these form tags ignore
the values completely. Is this due to a scope issue? Can this be
resolved?

You can assign the local variable ''record'' to the instance
variable
''@record'' in your partial template. Or, if you are using edge
rails,
you can use form_for helper like:

<%= form_for :record, record, :url => {} %>
<%= text_field "record", "name" %>
<%= end %>
