Rails - May 2006 - Name of action inside template

Hi all,

How do I know the name of the action currently invoked inside RHTML  
template?
I need to make a text_field readonly when the action is ''edit''
and
readwrite when the action is ''new''.

Tq,
John

I may be completely misunderstanding your question, but...

In Rails, you will have a seperate view (RHTML template) for each controller 
action.  So you''ll have a ''new.rhtml'' and an
''edit.rhtml'' and you''ll just
include a contentEditable=false attribute on the field in your
''edit.rhtml''.

hth,
Bill

<% if controller.action_name == ''edit'' -%>

etc.

Thanks Ray!
Another way I managed to find myself is:
<% if params[:action] == ''edit'' -%>
