Question

I have a form, after passing this form to the next page a preview of an Newsletter is generated. I want to pass the whole html of that preview to an @Var or to params. To save them later in Database and to send the Newsletter out. Is there any way to do that?

Cheers
Stefan

// EDIT: working now @status was not transferd in params, my mistake

render (the default action) returns the rendered response. you can assign this to any variable you like:

@foo = render

render also assigns the rendered response to self.response_body. If you don’t want this, you can use render_to_string instead:

@foo = render_to_string
