		<description><![CDATA[For anyone who&#8217;s been following my extremely sparse postings - here&#8217;s something exciting to look at - http://whichweekend.com  - small simple useful.

		<title>Hidden counter in partial collections</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A quick tech post to share knowledge:
If you need a counter, iterator, index, loop variable number type thing inside a partial rendering a collection then you can simply use an undocumented counter called [partialname]_counter.
render :partial =&#62; 'parrot', :collection =&#62; @parrots
Then in _parrot.rhtml (or rails 2 style  _parrot.html.erb) you can use:
parrot_counter
I like this like I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bug for the day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve got a date_select in a partial on a collection and the date in the AR object isn&#8217;t being rendered by the date helper (and it defaults to Time.now) then the fix is to pass an :object parameter to the date_select holding the AR object (which is the partial&#8217;s local in my case).

		<title>observe_form values lost in the ether</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When using observe_form, there&#8217;s a sneaky nastyness. (Rails 1.2.3)  It&#8217;s a bit inconsistent. Hopefully this will clear it up.
With no &#8216;update&#8217; or &#8216;with&#8217; parameter then the values aren&#8217;t passed:
new Form.Observer('theform', 1, function(element, value) {new Ajax.Request('/controller/action', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true})})
Surely this is a bug? It should include &#8216;parameters:value&#8217;.
Using - :with =&#62; &#8216;values&#8217;
new Form.Observer('theform', 1, function(element, value) {new [...]]]></description>
