templating partial views in MVC
What approach can be used to achieve a "template" for a partial view? Given 5 different flavours of a search widget, I want each one to use a common template for style/presentation purposes, so what is the recommended approach? Each of the 5 searches has its own partial view, associated viewmodel and controller action. The most important thing is for the form tag to surround the 'template' and the partial view, not just the partial view. 

thanks
