Nested View: Pass variable so that correct query results returned

I'm not entirely sure I fully understand what you're asking.

I have a nested view that is part of a tabset. The nested view is returning records of a query to the DB.

Do you mean your nested view receives records from the DB - and returns some HTML?

I would like to pass a variable from that nested view so that the records returned are only for that "key/variable".

Hmmm. You keep using the word view to describe things I expect models to do.

Here are the links that I usually throw at people when they say some of these magic words.

Have a quick read through those and see if either enlightens at all.
