How to change background image by using same layout

I am using a layout to all pages. However, I want change the background 
image in different views. The background images are difined in a CSS 
file. <body> tag is in the layout file. I can difine diffrent class of 
body to have different bg image.

So far, I think my question can change to how to pass class name to the 
layout file?

I am new with RoR, please help!

Thanks a lot!

The layout has access to controller instance variables in the same way 
that views do, so for example you can have
<body class="<%= @body_class%>">
in the layout.

If you want a different body class for each controller (and your 
controller_name doesn''t contain
any spaces),  you could do this:

    <body class="<%= controller.controller_name %>">

To set it based on action, you can use:

       <body class="<%= controller.action_name %>">

If you want a different background image depending upon the combination 
of controller and
action called, you can set a @bodyclass variable in each method, and 
then pass that along to
appliaction.rhtml

    <body class="<%= @bodyclass %>">

There could be other (possibly even more elegant) ways of doing this, of 
course ;)

Re: How to change background image by using same layout

Thanks Fred!

I actually figured it out after posting the question. I know, I am still 
very far away from good on RoR. :(

Thanks again!

Re: How to change background image by using same layout

You can use scriptaculous to dynamically change the css style properties of
any element.

Something like:

Element.setStyle(''mydiv'',
{backgroundColor:''blue''})


While it doesn''t directly address your problem, I think you could use a
variation of this to solve your problem.  I wrote about this here:

http://rubynoob.com/articles/2006/09/06/how-to-change-css-styles-on-the-fly-with-ajax-rjs-and-prototype

I see you''ve solved the problem...  How did you fix it?
