Hi

create apprpriate controller and action of your static page

like if your have controller called home_conntroller the action for index

like controller ->home action ->index

so in rails you will get a view foor each action

in index file you just paste the welcome page html file on that

if ur well in layout u create layout for that or you can use application layout

there you can separte your common things like all the pages, the header and footer

will be same so paste those things there

then you paste remaing things in their own page other wise you have copy and paste the header and footer in each view file.

Hi venkat

I Hope u included all the css and images

In Rails app we have a folder called public, Inside public u can see the folders 1)images 2)javascripts 3)stylesheets there u have to paste all the images and css & js in their respective folder.

then u have to give a image path u have to give like this

do u have firebug tool in your firefox, if u have that u can easily inspect the element then

u can modify the code there u can see the temp output there.
