Hello,

Is it possible to disable the layout for a specific file? I have a  
file\_upload.rhtml that gets it’s layout from the account.rhtml layout.  
Inside file\_upload.rhtml there is an iframe (upload.rhtml) that handles  
the actual uploading of the file. upload.rhtml is getting the same  
layout as it’s parent (file\_upload.rhtml) so as you can imagine this is  
causing an undesired affect.

So the question again: Is there a way to disable the layout for this  
specific file (upload.rhtml)?

Thanks for any help!

Coming back to post the solution I found.

```auto
layout 'account', :except => :login
```

added to my account controller fixed it.
