How to link external css files in codeigniter 2.0

I encountered the same problem. all that was needed is a mod to the .htaccess file
be sure to include the following

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

it will also remove the required index.php from the url
