Hi guys,

The same functionality implemented on #509 (:as option to local var on  
partial) is not available on JavaScriptGenerator method insert\_html/  
replace\_html.

render :partial =\> ‘exercises/\_sortable\_exercise’, :as =\>  
‘exercise’, :collection =\> @exercises

Works! I get an ‘exercise’ object, as expected. But…

page.insert\_html :bottom, “exercises”, :partial =\> ‘exercises/  
\_sortable\_exercise’, :as =\> ‘exercise’, :object =\> @exercise

I still get the same ‘sortable\_exercise’ object instead of ‘exercise’.

Am I doing something wrong?

Rgds,
