Hello everyone,

I just download CodeIgniter 2.0.0 and when I run it everything works fine. However when I take the styles from the welcome_message.php and put them in an external stylesheet the view is shown in the browser without formatting.
When I click the link to the stylesheet in the browser the stylesheet looks like this.

Code:
&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?&gt;

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

&lt;html &gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;Object not found!&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;link rev="made" href="mailto:postmaster@localhost" /&gt;

&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;&lt;!--/*--&gt;&lt;![CDATA[/*>&lt;!--*/ 

    body { color: #000000; background-color: #FFFFFF; }

    a:link { color: #0000CC; }

    p, address {margin-left: 3em;}

    span {font-size: smaller;}

/*]]>*/--&gt;&lt;/style&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<h1>Object not found!</h1>

<p>

    The requested URL was not found on this server.

    The link on the

    &lt;a href="http://localhost/projects/ci_demo/index.php">referring

    page</a> seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of

    &lt;a href="http://localhost/projects/ci_demo/index.php">that page</a>

    about the error.

</p>

<p>

If you think this is a server error, please contact

the <a href="mailto:postmaster@localhost">webmaster</a>.

</p>

<h2>Error 404</h2>

<address>

  &lt;a href="/">localhost</a><br />

  <span>12/03/2011 10:02:33<br />

  Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/0.9.8o PHP/5.3.4 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1</span>

</address>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

The stylesheet is in the folder application/views.
The link in the welcome_message.php is:

Code:
&lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="default.css" type="text/css"&gt;

Does anybody know what is wrong?

Can you show the actual contents of welcome_message.php file? Seems like you are doing something wrong.

It is the original file + the link to the style sheet.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

&lt;html lang="en"&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

    &lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt;

    &lt;title&gt;Welcome to CodeIgniter&lt;/title&gt;

    &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="default.css" type="text/css"&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<h1>Welcome to CodeIgniter!</h1>

<p>The page you are looking at is being generated dynamically by CodeIgniter.</p>

<p>If you would like to edit this page you'll find it located at:</p>

<code>application/views/welcome_message.php</code>

<p>The corresponding controller for this page is found at:</p>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

The problem here is that default.css located in the application/views folder, but the browser actually looks for the stylesheet in the base directory. I usually have a seperate folder called "assets" in the main directory. So I would suggest putting default.css in assets/css folder and then refer to the stylesheet in the view like this:

Code:
&lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="&lt;?=base_url()?&gt;assets/css/default.css" type="text/css"&gt;

Just make sure to load URL helper for base_url() function.
