i am used to work with php, and mostly i create an menu on one page and the
content on another page (2 template and i load the one in the other), so i
dont have to put the menu on every page, when i want to update something
from the menu then i dont need to change it ex 20 times, like a Web user
control in asp

is there something like this in ruby

Well, there are numerous templating libraries written in Ruby, each with some form of external file inclusion.

For example, in Nitro, one can do

<body>
    <render href="header" />

    ....

where "header" refers to an external common file.

Something along the lines of eRuby or erb would probably feel the most familiar, coming from PHP:

Also, the built-in CGI class could do the same.

Try Rails, too.

1. See the webpage for details on the mailing list.
2. Rails Layouts do exactly what you'd like. Running script/generate scaffolding foo will show you an example of a layout (under app/views/layouts).
