I am trying to develop a simple shopping cart application using ROR. I  
have a categories controller and a products controller, which work fine.  
My problem is that I can’t figure out how to get the page to display in  
the way that I want. I would like to have the categories list to show  
on the left side of the page…it will serve as the site navigation  
(navigation thru the product categories). When a category is clicked I  
need to display a list of all products in the category on the right side  
of the screen. I have not been able to find a clear example on how to  
accomplish something like this. Explanations or links to tutorials  
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
