[Rails] Responding to different html requests

I find in my controllers that I often want to respond to two types of
request for html in the same action:

1) A full page request in which the whole page should be rendered
2) A request in which a partial should be rendered without the whole
layout

I have handled this by passing a parameter in the url to indicate which
one to return but that feels ugly and I wonder if there are better ways?

Thanks!
