Hiding partials when used with rjs.

Hi,

I often find myself using partials in the following way when they are intended for use with both javascript and html rendering:

-- page.html.erb   render :partial => 'partial'

-- page.rjs   page.replace 'element',     :partial => 'partial', :locals => {:hidden => true}   page.visual_effect :appear, 'element'

--_partial.html.erb <%   hidden ||= nil %> <div <%= 'style="display: none"' if hidden %>>   Whatever </div>

I was wondering whether anyone could suggest a better way of doing this as I don't really like using the hidden ||= nil at the top of every partial that is intended for this usage?

Thanks in advance, Toby
