In rhtml, you have access to controller. I am trying to set an instance var in my controller, then retrieve it in my form display. I know I could do this through one of the hashes I have access to, but I''m trying to understand why I can''t do it this way.

Hi List! Following http://rcss.rubyforge.org/files/README.html, I''m trying to get RCSS to work with Rails. The rcss command itself works fine, but when trying to access http://localhost:3000/rcss/test.css I always get "Unknown action - No action responded to test.css", which I don''t understand since the route and controller are in place.
