I am using a partial for an xml page, but the xml.instruct is not  
showing up:

Main xml file:

xml.instruct! :xml, :version=\>“1.0”

xml \<\< render(:partial =\> ‘success\_error’, :locals =\> {:x =\>  
@x, :p\_xml =\> xml})

Partial:

p\_xml.response do  
p\_xml.tag!(x[:type]) do  
p\_xml.message x[:msg]  
end  
end

When I view the page the xml shows up but not the header. When I  
right click and view source then I can see the header info.

Sounds like it’s just the way your browser is choosing to display the  
xml.

Well it is odd, if I put the code in the main view it shows up.
