Relative link to CSS

[eluser]ntheorist[/eluser]
one other note, i prefer not to store css/js files within my system folder. I get a bit uneasy planting links anywhere that lead to system files, really.

also if you're running .htaccess to remove the index.php from your urls, one of the more popular uses employs removing direct web access to the system but allows for a system front controller :

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /clientname/system/index.php/$1 [L]

i don't know if you're using this set of rules but it may be blocking it. Also i'm thinking if you don't have some sort of system rule in place, it may be looking up localhost/clientname/index.php/system/application/views/style/master.css as controller = system, method = application etc

i would try quickly setting up a folder 'styles' in your root. Add it to your .htaccess if you're running it:

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|styles|images|dev)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /clientname/index.php/$1 [L]

Place the css in there and try:

<link href="/styles/master.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />;

@chad using &lt;base href="&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;system/application/views/style" /&gt; wouldn't be such a good idea, as any relative anchor on the page would then point to the styles folder, ie <a href="products/view/123"> would link to http://localhost/clientname/system/appli...s/view/123
