Hi  
I have to pass a param to  
\<%= render :partial=\> /popup/search\_contact\_ui’ %\>

I tried like below but not working  
\<%= render :partial=\> ‘/popup/search\_contact\_ui’,  
:params=\>{:content=\>‘searchsdprimaryassignee’}%\>

Could you please tell me how I can do this  
Sijo

I think the closest you will get is by passing a local variable:  
[ActionController::Base](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000452) at  
“rendering partials”

Cheers,
