Rails - Oct 2006 - How to get current method/action name from layout rhtml

I want to know what is current controller / action in my layout.rhtml 
shared by all my rhtml files to make some style changes.

I am new in ruby and RoR, I believe there must be a simple solution for 
this.

Any help would be great appreciated!!!

There sure is a better soluition, but i added a before_filter in my
application controller like this:

before_filter :set_canames

...
private
def set_canames
@cname = controller_name
@aname = action_name
end

there probably is a better way, but it works.

In your views, you can use controller.controller_name and I''m sure
there is
a method for the action but I don''t know it off the top of my head.
action_name would make the most sense.

There was a recent post with similar information. I believe you do have
access to ''controller'' in the views (and layouts) therefore it
is possible to use

controller.controller_name
controller.action_name
