Welcome to CI  .Using CI You should always use absolute URL's for assets( CSS, images, links), since depending on Your controller the page URL changes. There are several possibilities, read the user guide. In Your case use base_url() from either the url helper or the config class.

i use Code: <link href= "<?php echo base_url(); ?>assets/css/master.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />And place my css: codigniter_installation/assets/css/master.css

Where do You have You index.php ? webroot/index.php webroot/codigniter_installation/index.php The base_url always starts where Your index.php is.

it still doesn't work i have placed the style.css file in the same folder as index.php but no changes  below is the view file <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html > <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>style.css" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Web Test Site</title> </head> <body> <h1><?php echo $mytitle; ?></h1> <p class="test"> <?php echo $mytext; ?> </p> <?php echo $base ?> </body> </html> $base and other vars are passed by control.
