I tried the idea (which is a good one) of including this

Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url() ?>assets/style.css" type="text/css" />

but then the page went blank, it took me to I don't know where. I haven't modified the config file, so the base url is up to CI to guess.

Check your config and set your base_url

did this

$config['base_url'] = 'localhost/ci/';

this is my stuff from the URL box at the browser

http://localhost/CI/index.php/welcome/index/

Does it work?

:/

this is the longest thread I have ever had in my life, I really thank you for all the tremendous patience that you are having, but why would it not work ?

I created the folder which is at the same level as the application, the system and user guide, as I said. Then inside the views is the header.php In his <HEAD> section I have the links.

Even without having to worry about base urls or things like that, it should just import it. The question is:

are we sure that the path:

Code:
@import url('css/style.css');&lt;/style&gt;

really makes a header.php located as I said, inside the views folder, import a css file located at another folder called css which is located at the same level of depth with regards to root as the application, system and user guide?

Your web browser doesn't know or care about where your webserver is loading your header from. All the browser cares about is the final HTML output sent from the server.

It could be because you have:

Code:
$config['base_url'] = 'localhost/ci/';

with "ci" lower-cased, but according to your error message, the CI directory is capitalized, which matters on some OS's.

Also, base_url should start with "http://"

Also, why do you have "header.html" in your views folder? There should only really be php files in there. I think you have more than one problem going on.

but in the views folder you can't have html files?

If you plan on passing any variables to be displayed in the view file, it will need to be a .php file.

CI's loader won't load html files, either, which is CI's way to load view files.

Code:
$this->load->view('viewfile');

assumes viewfile is viewfile.php.
