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.&nbsp; I have the partial check for 2 items, display_title and klass.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; I test to see if these exists by doing the following:

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

<;ul class=&quot;<%= !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&quot; error.&nbsp; 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?&nbsp; 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
