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%>

Prevent users from entering urls
How could I make it so that links on my page could link to a controllers 
action, but if the user manually entered the url, it would redirect them 
back to the main page?  Is this possible?
Thank you,

How do I update a div''s content in the controller?
Without using an RJS, is there a call I can do in the controller?  All I 
want to do is this statement, but in the controller:
new Effect.toggle(''notifier_nav'',''appear'', {duration:12.0});
Thanks,

How do you use :message with validation?
If I do validates_uniqueness_of :name, :message => "It''s not

then how do I have it display that message when the check fails?

How to upload all images in a folder?
Instead of making a form to upload one picture at a time, I''d like to 
have the File Column plugin accept a directory, and have each picture be 
uploaded and thumbnails created (w/ RMagick).
Has anyone done this?
Anyone have a good idea where to start if I were to do it on my own?
Thanks,

Why does no one like render_component?
Maybe I''m missing the point?
Lets take for example albums of pictures.  If I have a scaffold for 
each, and I''m showing an album, what if I want to list all of the 
pictures that are in the album?
Surely, I''d want to call the List action in the picture controller. 
render_component would do this perfectly.  But we''re told not to use 
render_component.  So

Call action & display nothing?
Can you do a periodically_call_remote to an action but then not display 
any new view?  say the new action was called ADD.  I don''t want to do an 
rhtml file for add, and I don''t want to render anything in the 
controller... I want to leave the page as it is.  How is this done?
Thanks,

Mouse Location
Is the only way to get the mouse location by using javascript?  Or does
rails do it for me?!? :)
Does anyone have a simple script that they use?  I''m trying to put a div
right where the mouse is clicked on a link... so I''m looking for it to
work like this:
a hre f=. onclick=Element.setStyle(''title_login'', {left:

RJS problem
I have an odd problem while trying to use a simple rjs.
_test.rjs : page.alert "test"
test.rhtml: <script><%=render_partial(''test'')%></script>
When I am attempting to view controller/test the page comes as if it was a
text file.
So i am actually seeing:

Newbie help re: "dynamic" navigation menu
Hi
I am trying to get my head around how you would "efficiently" do a 
left-hand navigation menu structure derived from various database table 
entries.
Example is loosely based on AWDwR''s depot app.  Say you wanted to 
instead to have the left-hand nav links show the following:
  Books
    book title 1
    book title 2
    ...
  CDs
    CD title 1
    CD title 2
    ...

adding class or id tags to tags like linkto and form
I''m trying to figure out things like this by myself so I don''t bother my 
developer and slow him down. How do I add class or id css attributes to 
tags like this:
<%= form_remote_tag :url => { :action => "send_url" } %>
<%= link_to_remote "My Profile URL", :url => { :action => 
"send_profile_url", :id => @user.id } %>

Links on the left hand side - are components necessary?
Hello,
Maybe this is super-trivial...
I need to have a list of links on the left hand side of my application, 
for *every* single page.
So, I''ve created a layout called "main" (main.rhtml)  under 
view/layouts, and included >layout "main"< in pretty all of my 
controllers.
main.rhtml has, amongst all the other HTML stuff:

Navigation
Greetings,
I appreciate the help from here as I seem to be asking the noob 
questions a lot, but what is a good way to deal with navigation pulled

        <li><a href="#" class="nav"><%=h nav_button.name %></a></li>

How can I minimize SQL queries
I have users, who have friends that are also users in mysql database.
I have a foreign key for both users, so that I can reference their data 
directly.  My problem is displaying friends.  My for statement would 
look something like this:
for i in(0..@user.friends.length)
	puts @user.friends[i].user.name
end
so @user is the user that i''m displaying friends for... .friends are the

Navigation Helper
I am attempting to integrate a main navigation section into my web
application. Naturally the easiest and DRY way to do this would be to
either include it in a layout, or as a partial. The only problem is
that I want the link for the current page to have its own css id
("current").  The only way I can think to accomplish this is to just
include the navigation in every page, but this is

handling navigation tabs - use sessions?
I think this is a fairly easy question done several times in several 
languages, but on a traditional ''tab'' based navigation webpage, what''s 
the best way to handle the active state?
I am using this in my view:
<% for category in @categories %>
   <% if the condition is met to make this the active tab %>

Help with Navigation
I''m currently using CSS to style my navigational menu.  I also have
