Stupid question on application layout

I know this is a stupid question, but I can't seem to find the answer.

In my app/views/layouts, I had tasks.html.erb (and others) That worked great.

I added application.html.erb, but NOTHING is using it.

What I want is application.html.erb to yield to tasks.html.erb to yield to individual pages.

Thanks in advance,

Alan

The application.html.erb layout is simply the default one used if none of your controllers specify another one to use instead. They don't nest like that (unless something changed in rails 2.x that I've completely missed).

However the following may help.
