Off the top of my head, I think this will attempt do get the value from 
the following call within the controller:

@item_search_page.method_name

Hi all,
I was wondering if anybody could help me figure why a view cannot find a 
method that I defined in another class. I do this in the view: (let''s 
say index.rhtml)

<%= check_box("item_search_page", "method_name")

Here, item_search_page is a variable in the view''s controller, which 
creates a new ItemSearchPage object. And I defined "method_name" in
the
class:

class ItemSearchPage
  def method_name
  end
end


So, although I defined the method and it''s public, the view says 
"undefined method ''method_name''.

Thanks for your help..

try putting in your model the statement...

require "filename_of_file_that_has_the_needed_method"
