Hello to the codigniter community. I myself am excited about being a new member of codeigniter developers. I have just started with CI and i have done quite a week's worth reading before dirtying my hands into the code.
I did start last night with a litle code like a couple of controller for logging in a user and then redirecting them to the profile page.
Everything works fine till now but there is a little hunch with the styling. I cant get any external css files to work. It is not getting loaded with any style.
I checked the rewrite rules and they are fine.
REWRITE RULES

Code:
RewriteEngine on  

    RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)  

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f  

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d  

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

I have also tried placing my stylesheets in different directories and accessing them.
This line is the one where I am trying to load the stylesheet.
the stylesheet is in the application/views/includes/styles/ folder.

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;The MNITLIB APP&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;link type="text/css" href="includes/styles/style.css" media="screen"/&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<h1>Malviya National Institute Of Technology</h1>

<div id="login_form">

&lt;?php echo form_open('login/validate_credentials');?&gt;

Email id: &lt;?php echo form_input('username');?&gt;

Password:&lt;?php echo form_input('password');?&gt;

&lt;?php echo form_submit('submit','LOGIN');?&gt;

&lt;?php echo form_close();?&gt;

</div>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

please give me suggestions and help me identify the problems.
