controller1 doesn't render the application layout, but controller2 does!

application_controller.rb

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  helper :all # include all helpers, all the time
  protect_from_forgery # See ActionController::RequestForgeryProtection for details

  def initialize
    @messages = {}
  end
  
  private

  def redirect_to_ssl
    redirect_to :protocol => "https://" unless (request.ssl? || request.local?)
  end

  def render404
    render_err(404)
  end

end

controller1

class MemesController < ApplicationController

  def browse
  end

end

controller2

class MemesController < ApplicationController

  def browse
    render :layout => "application"
  end

end
