How to eliminate index.php in url?

[eluser]inktri[/eluser]
I'm using an .htaccess to have all http://localhost/controller/function utilize http://localhost/index.php/controller/function

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

HOWEVER, clicking on any link or submitting a form in any view redirects to the url with the index.php. How can I eliminate index.php's in these scenarios?

Thanks for the help

There is an article posted on the wiki. The recommended .htacess does not work for all users, so you may need to do a forum search to find alternate solutions.

In the config file, where it says 'index.php' can't remember what option it is but change it to just '' (so blank)
