Hi, Just wondering: when do people use a helper and when a partial? I''ve just converted a bunch of partials into helpers because I didn''t like the syntax of partials where I can had to pass in a :locals hash every time. I wonder what advantages a partial has over a helper and vice versa. I guess a partial has easier access to the controller and various assigned variables, but I often find a helper cleaner as long as it doesn''t get too big. I wonder if there are any more performance and/or maintenance issues to take into account. Jeroen
