Render a partial to an instance variable (See related posts)

Normally, if you call "render_partial" within a controller, nothing but the partial will be rendered.

Occasionally, it is useful to render a partial to an instance variable as a string so that the view can still be rendered as normal, and the string can be passed in to the view.

i think you can also use render_to_string
@content_for_navbar = render_to_string :partial => "layouts/public_navbar"
