Rails - Jun 2006 - If... what?

I have a simple div in my layout that I would like to change depending 
on the action.  For instance in the account/signup I would like it to 
use <div id="register"> but in account/login I would like it to
use <div
id="login">

I''m trying to find the right if statement to use here.. I thought that 
maybe:

if :action => login would work but it doesn''t..

thanks..

<div id="<%= params[:action] %>">

or, from a helper:

  def sidebar_id(action)
    action = action.to_s
    case action
      when ''signup'' : ''register''
      when ''foo''    : ''bar''
      else          : action
    end
  end

  # View
  <div id="<%= sidebar_id(params[:action]) %>">
