Include CSS... i'm lost

[eluser]Hana[/eluser]
Hello :-)

Since yesterday, I am trying to import my CSS in my header page...

My header:
C:\wamp\www\MYSITE\application\views\Common\header.php

My css:
C:\wamp\www\MYSITE\application\assets\css\master.css

In autoload, I included url helper. In each controller I load view "header" (like this)

Code:

$this->load->view('common/header');
  $this->load->view('login');

I tried

Code:

<link href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>application/assets/css/master.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

And it load [13:38:57,314] GET http://localhost/MYSITE/application/asse...master.css [HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 2ms]

I do not get what is the link ref to my css...


I have an .htaccess in MYSITE(before application & system):
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets/|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

And an .htaccess in application, but I disabled it:
Deny from all

What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help! :-))
