If you have a default sidebar, then you could just put the div in the
layout, right?
Or you could make it into a helper method, something like (untested):
def conditional_element(name)
element = yield(name.to_sym)
content_tag(:div, element, :id => name.to_s) if element
end
I'm not sure exactly what the problem you're trying to solve is, so
maybe I'm misunderstanding something :)
