Well like I said you can set a variable -- local variable or instance variable -- and tell render to use that variable. Or write a helper method and call <%= render :partial => what_to_render() %> then put the 10 if/else's into a the what_to_render helper method. (or use case with a default case so you only put the special cases). It is ruby after all, almost anything can be made cleaner and more elegant. > > It would really be better to have a layout that is special to these 2 > pages that I can execute manually and wrap the content that is on the > page.

You can switch the layout in the controller, either on a controller-by-controller basis, or you can decide in a method which layout to use. render "hello.erb", :layout => "xyz" Without really looking at your code I can't solve you problem, but I can throw a bunch of suggestions at you as to different ways it could be done ;) -Jason -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
