Rails - Aug 2007 - attr_accessor not setting or being displayed in the layout

Hi there guys

I''ve been pulling my hair out all night with this one, I thought it
would work?

If in my controller i do the following

class PagesController < ApplicationController
    attr_accessor :something
    helper_attr :something

   def show
    something = "display this!"

    respond_to do |format|
    		format.html
		format.xml  { render :xml => @page.to_xml }
    end
  end
end

Then in my view

<%= something %>

Should "display this!" get displayed? becuase it doesn''t seem
to be
setting for me

Thanks in advance :)

Try self.something = "display this!". Calling an assignment on just 
"something" will assign a variable that is local to that method
instead
of the object.
