Hi,

Well if you have a header and footer in all your pages, you dont need to include or code them on every page of your site, that's a bad practice. What I suggest you to do is make a layout (template) for your views. Like loading a view within a view.

Sample: In the sample there is a css file inside the css folder. The css folder is inside the system folder.

Code:
Controller:

Sample.php

class Sample extends Controller

{

   function Sample()

   {

     parent::Controller();

     // need this to use base_url() in the template.php

     $this->load->helper('url');

   }

   function index()

   {

      $data['title'] = 'Sample Template';

      $data['content'] = 'main_page';

      $this->load->view('template', $data);

   }

}

template.php

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

  &lt;title&gt;&lt;?php echo $title; ?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;

  &lt;link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="&lt;?php echo base_url().'system/css/default.css'; ?&gt;" /&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

   <div id="wrapper">

      <div id="header">

          $this->load->view('header');

      </div>

      <div id="content">

         $this->load->view($content);

      </div>

      <div id="footer">

         $this->load->view('footer');

      </div>

   </div>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

main_page.php

<h1>This is the dynamic content (main page) of the page.....</h1>

header.php

<h1>Welcome to the website</h1>

footer.php

<h1>Copyright 2008</h1>

This is a simple example of what youre trying to do....

Hope this sample helps you.....
