[Rails] Using Application.rhtml as layout for all controllers
I put my nav system in application layout. that way any controller loading will have the nav system. I have one problem though - the <%= yield %> is in the body, so how would my controllers specify other css files? my application layout would look like this: <html> <head> title css include javascript include </head> <body> nav system <%=yield%> </body> </html> so that means any controllers go into the body immediatly - so can they not have their own css files without specifying them in application layout? Thanks, Ben Lisbakken -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello Ben,> I put my nav system in application layout. that way any controller > loading will have the nav system.

Ripped off from a post yesterday (Credit to Richard Livsey), this may
help....
Take a look at:
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/CaptureHelper.html
Specifically:
In your layout:
<head>
... stuff
<%= @content_for_head %>
</head>
In your template:
<% content_for("head") do %>
the javascript / include js file
<% end %>
