What is the best practice for Ruby on Rails 3 layout?

Rails 3 offer application.html.erb as a layout template. However, whenever you send request to access a controller view, the content of application.html.erb will be loaded again. This seems not efficient, since header, navigation, footer only need to be loaded once.

In addition, when you need to have a javascript code executed in $(window).load for application.html.erb and another js method executed in $(window).load for <controller>.html.erb, this will mess up. I think the reason is that $(window).load can only execute once for each page.

So I wonder what's the best Layout practice for Rails 3.

Thanks

Rails 4 includes Turbolinks, which will only reload the body of your website when a link is clicked, instead of reloading all of the assets like javascript and CSS. If you want to fine tune what gets loaded further, you can take a look at pjax, but I think for most applications Turbolinks will be sufficient.
