[Rails] What's the best way to embed a form?

[softwareengineer 99]

Xavier,
  I figured it out.
  I was trying to put it in the controller, but if I put it in views directory, it works
  
  Thanks for your assistance.

  The problem is that when I use
  render_component :controller => "member",  :action => "login"
  
  the original home page doesn't render anymore.
  
  I tried the following after rendering the above component, but then my  application stops. I am guessing it goes into an infinite loop.
  
  render_component :controller => "home",  :action => "show", :params => { "category" => @params[:category] }
  
  How can I render my home page, but just add the form there?
  
  Thanks
  Frank

If there's a controller that renders that form, a clean idiom is to  
embed it calling render_component from the view:
