Use a partial. It''s just a file that starts with an underscore in your views folder. And then call it via render :partial => :logo All partials & views can access instance variables set in your controller. Partials can also be passed local variables through a :locals hash. http://railsbrain.com/api/rails-1.2.3/doc/index.html?a=M000463&name=render Vish On 8/20/07, Gandalf <gandalf.me-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > I am new to Rails and am wondering how to share code across views.

You can use the layout file do that. Look at the following railscasts. it will
clarify how layout works (it is a 7 min video)

You need to use layouts. Create one called application.rhtml which is where you keep the site-wide html. For an excellent introduction to layouts, see this screencast: http://railscasts.com/episodes/7 Hope that helps, DAZ On Aug 20, 6:19 pm, Gandalf <gandalf...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I am new to Rails and am wondering how to share code across views.

These are the most common and simple ways of sharing code: You have two methods, depending on what you want to achieve. A layout under app/views/layout allows you to declare a page that serves as a shell for your content and then you can add a content_for_layout reference where you want your content to appear. You can even have multiple layouts. Another way to share code is to create partials, such as a common header or footer, that your views can include.
