Rails - Mar 2007 - Partials and Prototype

I am having trouble sending a local variable to a partial.  When I call
it from the main program it works, but when I try to do so from a rjs
file, it wont work.

In my main code I have

<% for each name in @list %>
  <%= render_partial ''/printName'', name.id %>
<% end %>

Then in the _printName.rhtml file its simply

<%= "
<div class="names" id="name_#{printName}">
#{  link_to_remote("test",
   :url => {:action => "didItWork",
            :id => printName,
            :update => ''name_#{printName}''}
 }
<br></div>
"%>

Then in the rjs file

if !@name.nil?
  page.replace_html "name_#{@name.id}", render_partial
''printName'',
@name.id
end

which does not work.  Previously I had this working by skipping the
partial and printing the html code within the rjs file, but that
violates DRY

if !@name.nil?
  page.replace_html "name_#{@name}",
  "
  <div class="names" id="name_#{@name}">
  #{  link_to_remote("test",
            :url => {:action => "didItWork",
            :id => @name,
            :update => ''name_#{@name}''}
   }
   <br></div>
  "
end


Any advice on how to send the variable in the rjs file?
