link_tag problem

[eluser]coolant[/eluser]
I downloaded the newest version of CI (1.6.0) and started getting into it.

I tried this code in my view file

Code:

<?php
link_tag('css/style.css');
?>

and the css did not stylize anything. Now, if I change line 309 in html_helper.php to echo instead of return, it works.

Any ideas why?

Try...

Code:

<?php
echo link_tag('css/style.css');
?>

Cheers...

Bah! That should be fixed in the documentation then...

Yes I agree, CodeIgniter shouldn't force people to think.

Sorry coolant. I've added explicit echo statements to those examples. Its fixed in the repository, and will be part of the next CodeIgniter release.

br() and heading() in the manual both show echo's before it - so just trying to be consistent.

Otherwise - I'm enjoying CI so far! Good product!
