All, Is it possible for a view to call back to a controller method? If so, what is the syntax? === details I have a list view that I want to filter out inactive rows based on several table fields being zero, old, etc. It would seem I should create a "filtered" method in the controller (which I have done). Then invoke if from the view like: for row in @rows continue if row.filtered It is not working. ie. filtered is undefined.

Is the method on the Row class ? It'' should be if you are asking each individual row "are you filtered". If however ''filtered'' is not supposed to be a per-row method, but list-wide... In your "list" action on controller, create a variable, this is accessible from the view. so BlahController#list @filtered = true views/blah/list.rhtml if @filtered .... Des that make sense ?
