Question

Is it possible to do something like this:

class SimulationController < ApplicationController   layout 'generic', :only => [:login, :invalid]   layout 'menubar', :except => [:login, :invalid] 

For some reason, my login page still uses the menubar layout (I can tell because a menu bar will appear at the top). If I comment out the 3rd line, the menu bar will disappear. So it seems like both layouts are being applied one after another.

But if I comment out the layout 'generic'bit, I will it will be just black and white, meaning no CSS style sheet is applied.
