[QUOTE="Steve V, post: 4467429"]
Hmm, okay. As you will see from using the below. The <%=@title%> value will
only be taken from the value in the TestController. No matter what I do, I
cannot get the @title variable set in the TableBuilder class to be the one
that is used.

Steve

test.rhtml:
<%tb = TableBuilder.new("Table Title")
tb.header_template do%>
This is the header template <%=@title%>
<%end%>
<%=tb.render()%>

test_controller.rb:
class TestController < ApplicationController
def test()
#uncomment, and the title variable will
#	be used in the template
#@title = "controller title"
end
end

class TableBuilder

def initialize(title = "")
@title = title
end

def header_template(&block)
@headerTemplate = block

end

def render()
out = ""

#do table building stuff.
_erbout = ""
#the below is taken from capture_helper.rb in
#	rails action_view\helpers
buffer = eval("_erbout", @headerTemplate)
pos = buffer.length
@headerTemplate.call(binding)

out << buffer[pos..-1]
buffer[pos..-1] = ""

#do other table building stuff

return out
end
end
