Out of curiosity, why is it that the following doesn't work in a view:
<%= @items.each { |@item| render :partial => 'itemrow' } %>
of course it's easily achieved like this:
<% for @item in @items %> <%= render :partial => 'itemrow' %> <% end %>
Is it just not possible to use blocks in a view?

You would need to use inject rather than each because render :partial returns the rendered HTML as a string and you are returning @items from each. That aside, though, the right way to render a partial on a collection is:
<%= render :partial => 'itemrow', :collection => @items %>
Rails does the loop for you.
