Since Rails allows you to specify the layout to render on a per
controller / per action level the easiest approach might be to have
several layouts. Easy, but it could be a performance-detractor as it
would involve a reload of your JS too.
Another approach would be to make your CSS selectors page-specific. For
example, you could structure your CSS like:
div#login_page {font-size: 16px;}
div#shopping_cart_page{font-size: 12px;}
etc.
And when you render, use controller.controller_name or
controller.action_name, or a combination, to control the html id.
<div id="#{controller.controller_name}_page">
I'm sure there are other, perhaps cleaner approaches.
HTH,
Bill
