Rails - Mar 2006 - Rendering Partials w/Collections - is there a way to find the position?

This seems obvious, but I wasn''t able to find info on it easily.  If
you are rendering a partial from a collection:
<%= render :partial => ''message'', :collection =>
@messages %>

Is there a way inside the partial to tell what item in the collection
you are on?  For example, if I am in the first element in the
collection, I want to do something different?

Hi Brian,

You can find out the current index by calling:

<%= message_counter %>

In your partial.
