Is there a native way to get the name of the controller from within a view?

This still has to be done from the controller because in the view the class is CI_Loader

You could do a good old:

Code:
&lt;?php 

$current_controller = $this->uri->segment(1);

echo $current_controller;

?&gt;

And that would certainly work from a view. If you're talking about it happening on the client end you would need to use javascript to get the same effect.

I'm not aware of any problems that would occur using this method.
