Most of my views will required a wrapper of padding 10px,,, but a few
will not...

I was thinking of doing something like this in the view controller:


     respond_to do |format|
       format.html { render :layout => true, :padding =>
''false'' }

And then in the application.html.erb have an IF to not add a padding
class if :padding is false... But the above idea doesn''t work, the
variable padding is not being passed.

Any ideas? Or cleaner/smart solutions? thxs
