I have a grails app named qotd which has a controller named quote. I have written view file for this controller named as random.gsp file as : 

<html>
<head>
<title>Random Quote</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div id ="quote">
    <q>${content}</q>
    <p>${author}</p>
    </div>
</body>

Now i have to write down the Grails Layout for this controller. For example i have to locate my .css and images files etc, how to do that(better if an example is shown)? And where i should place that file?

Thanks in advance.

    When you create a Grails application with grails create-app qotd, you get a file grails-app/views/layout/main.gsp. Take a look at that file, as it shows you how to include css, js and images. This file is the default Sitemesh layout file. To use it, change your random.gsp to

    <head>
<meta name='layout' content='main'/>
<title>Random Quote</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div id ="quote">
    <q>${content}</q>
    <p>${author}</p>
    </div>
</body>

    Then the layout file main.gsp will be wrapped around your content.
    To learn more about Sitemesh, take a look at chapter 7 in the Grails documentation
