Question

I developed a application using Rails 2.3.8 and In there root path I need to show particular table in one separate div and on other pages I need to remove that details so I need to check whether it in root path or not. So how can I find it on view file ??

I agree with apneadiving’s answer, however if you wanted to you can do this:

request.env['PATH_INFO'].eql?('/') 

or:

params[:controller].eql?('root_controller') and params[:action].eql?('root_action')

better:

#some_helpers.rb

def check_root
  params[:controller].eql?('root_controller') and params[:action].eql?('root_action')

#view

if check_root
  #your table code
