Hi, if someone could tell how to work around this. I''m calling a partial like so: render :partial => ''space_line'', :locals => {:external_space => @new_space.external_space, :space => @new_space} Within the partial I have the following text_area code: text_area( :external_space, :space_comment, :style => "width: 100%", :class => "rich_text_editor") I assumed the text_area helper would access the local variable :external_space, but of course does not. Instead it looks for @external_space. If it doesn''t find one, it creates an empty text area. Can I somehow provide a local variable, or am I out of luck here?

I think you are right ;). But since form_for didn''t work I went with the yuck part and hope that nobody will ever find out.
