[Rails] What's the best way to embed a form?: Header showing multiple times?

[softwareengineer 99]

Thank you so much for your reply.
  
  Unfortunately, I can't get it to work. 
  
  According to  http://rails.techno-weenie.net/question/2006/1/14/render_component_infinite_loop  , its the render method that supports :layout=>false.
  
  When I place :layout=>false in render_component, nothing happens.
  
  When I palce render (:layout=>false ) at the end of my function, no form is shown.
  
  When I change render_component to render, still no form shows up.
  
  So far: in show.rhtml, I have
  <%= render :controller => "member",  :action => "login",  :layout => false, :params => { "member[login]" => "" }   %>
  
  When I put 
  render (:layout=>false)
  in my tags_controller, the layout is shown 0 times.

  I tried 
  <%= render_component :controller => "member",  :action =>  "login", :layout => false, :params => { "member[login]" => ""  }  %>
  
  but it causes the layout to show two times.
  
  I am really confused at the moment and appreciate any help.
  
  Thanks
  Frank

Yes, in your application the generation of the login form does not  
construct an entire HTML page, it only creates a HTML form. In those  
situations you need to render :layout => false.
