Welcome to CI
.Using CI You should always use absolute URL's for assets( CSS, images, links), since depending on Your controller the page URL changes.
There are several possibilities, read the user guide.
In Your case use base_url() from either the url helper or the config class.

Where do You have You index.php ?
webroot/index.php
webroot/codigniter_installation/index.php
The base_url always starts where Your index.php is.
