Rails - Apr 2006 - Passing Variables to a sub template

Hi,

I must be missing something very basic here.

I have a parent template and I am calling a sub template like...

<%= render( :partial => "window_title_bar", {"heading"
=> "Product
Details"}) %>

and in the sub template (_window_title_bar.rhtml), i am doing

Heading: <%= heading %>

but I am getting syntax error in the master template at line

<%= render( :partial => "window_title_bar", {"heading"
=> "Requirement
Details"}) %>

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

You forgot the '':locals  => '' part. It should read:
     >  render( :partial => "window_title_bar", :locals =>
{"heading" =>
"Requirement  Details"})

You need to specifically tell the render method that you are passing  
in local values for the partial template to use:

<%= render( :partial => "window_title_bar", :locals =>
{"heading" =>
"Requirement Details"}) %>

I also recommend using symbols whenever you can, so I would actually  
use this version:

<%= render( :partial => "window_title_bar", :locals =>
{:heading =>
"Requirement Details"}) %>
