Hi all,  
I’ve got a view named "prompt.rhtml"and a controller named “customer”  
with some actions (“prompt”, “getdata”, and so on…). Of course, the  
URL “/customer/prompt” is associated to the action “prompt” and then  
to the view “prompt.rhtml”, but is it possible, when the URL is  
“/customer/getdata”, to associate the action “getdata”  
with the view “prompt.rhtml”? If so, how can I do this?

It should be like this: getdata (action) -\> prompt.rhtml (view)…

Tanks,  
Matthew

You could call this:

render :action =\> ‘prompt’

to render the entire ‘prompt’ action – inside your definition for  
‘getdata’. I’m not sure how to get it to just use the same view file,  
though.

If anyone else has a solution, jump on in, I’m interested too.

Regards,  
Edd
