</div>

Is there a rails rhtml / tag to do something like this:

[![Button](https://www.ruby-forum.com/images/button-on.gif)](https://www.ruby-forum.com/search_action)

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Are the images necessary for this rollover? Have you considered  
using CSS to achieve this effect?

Any ideas?

</div>

I have 2 layouts xyz.rhtml and abc.rhtml. I have some common code in  
common.rhtml.

I want to render common.rhtml in both xyz.rhtml and abc.rhtml.

Que 1. What is the best way in ror to do this?

Should I do the following in xyz.rhtml and abc.rhtml:

  
\<%= render(:file =\> “common.rhtml”, :use\_full\_path =\>  
true)%\>  

Que 2. If answer to above question is yes, then is my usage is correct?  
(Note: All three files are in app/views/layouts)

Currently when I do the above I get the following error:

ActionView::ActionViewError in Tracking#search\_order

Showing /app/views/layouts/xyz.rhtml/ where line _#20_ raised:

|No rhtml, rxml, or delegate template found for common.rhtml|

Extracted source (around line _#20_):

|17:   
18:   
19:

  
20: \<%= render(:file =\> “common.rhtml”)%\>  
21: 
  
|

Thanks,

You might also try render\_partial(‘/common’), where common.rhtml is  
moved to app/views/\_common.rhtml
