I would think partials would serve you (laying out vars populated in the appropriate controller).
Have you looked at those at all? -----Original Message----- From: rubyonrails-talk@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christo Karlson Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 3:10 PM To: rubyonrails-talk@googlegroups.com Subject: [Rails] Re: Subtemplating with ERB I have the same problem. I am translating an old ASP-application (pre dot.net) that uses textual includes to implement DRY. When I try to use ERB for this I get scoping problems * Variables or functions declared in the subtemplate I try to read with erb are not 'remembered' when returning to the main view (that did the erb call) Note. if a variable was declared the first time in the main view it is possible to change the value of that variable in the subtemplate and that new value is 'remembered'. I can't see how you can implement good DRY-solution in ruby/rails given the above problem but it should be possible since ruby/rails is a much newer/more modern framework than old asp. Of course you can put the methods in an helper method but then you don't have access to the <% %> tags and you don't have access to variables declared in the view.
