Rails - Aug 2006 - Local Variable Troubles

Hi all,

I currently have a partial named _menu, where I generate the menu for my
site.  I pass locals to it with a render :partial.  I have the partial check
for 2 items, display_title and klass.  I only pass these to the partial if I
need to use them, otherwise no locals named display_title or klass are
present in the partial.  I test to see if these exists by doing the
following:

<% unless display_title == false %><h3><%= title
%></h3><% end %>

<ul class="<%= !klass.nil? ? klass : ''menu''
%>">

This has worked for a little while, but recently it no longer worked--I got
an "undefined local variable or method" error.  I can understand why
maybe
the first method may not be working, but the second should work.  I
didn''t
change anything other than restarting the server before I started having the
issues.

Am I doing something completely stupid?  If I haven''t been too clear on
what
the problem is, let me know, and I''ll try to explain a little better.

Thanks,
Kyle

Not to be annoying, but does anyone have any ideas?
