Im trying to display lists of products on a page which is split up  
into categories which is fine but, the way they are displayed is in a  
3xwhatever grid so i was using cycle in my partial to set css styles  
for the spacing.

```auto
<div class="banner <%= cycle :left, :center, :right %>">
```

But then i split it up to also display the category name like so.

```auto
<% @categories.each do |category| %>
  <div class="category">
    <h3><%= category.name %></h3>
    <%= render :partial => "/shared/banner", :collection =>
category.products %>
  </div>
<% end %>
```

Problem is. the cycle does not “restart” after each loop of the block  
so they get out of order if a preceding category has an even number of  
products. is there any way to force the cycle back to “left” after  
each pass?

Thanks. mike
