I've just started using CI but have a problem.
If I load a page like this: index.php/something/ the CSS files load well, but type index.php/something/other/ the CSS files not load.
How can I tell to CI, the main directory is where index.php is stored? Or anything else to solve this problem?

I'm very-very new, but I want to learn all CI practices.

Oh, before I forget, an other question.
My new website's views load a constant view as header. Is there any chance to load once after initializing, instead of load in each views?

Ps: Sorry for my English, I'm Hungarian :-)

Not sure about your css issue, but as far as your 2nd question, here's what I do: I create a helper function that has 2 parameters (title and main content). I have several views that get populated for each page and only the content portion changes.
Library that I autoload containing functions:

Code:
//helper function to generate a main page with the passed in title and content.

    function make_page($title = '', $content = array())

    {

        $data = array();

        $user_info = array();

        $user_info['username'] = $this->CI->dx_auth->get_username();

           $user_info['role'] = $this->CI->dx_auth->get_role_name();

         $user_info['last_activity'] = date('M. j, Y g:i a', $this->CI->session->userdata['last_activity']);

           $data['app_version'] = APPVERSION;

           $data['db_version'] = DBVERSION;

         $data['user_info'] = $this->CI->load->view('userinfo', $user_info, TRUE);

         $data['menu'] = $this->CI->load->view('menu', $user_info, TRUE);

           $data['page_title'] = $title;

           $data['content'] = $content;    

         //this is my main template which the other views are passed into

         $this->CI->load->view('template', $data);

    }

Then I just have to:

Code:
$this->global->make_page('Title of this page', $this->load->view('somedir/someview', $data, TRUE));

where the view being loaded in there is my 'content'.

Are you using relative paths in your views?
Please post your view code.

Yes, relative because I'll use the same site on localhost and web server.

Here's my header_view.php file. The "style" folder is in the same folder where the system and index.php.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

        &lt;meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2" /&gt;

        &lt;meta name="author" content="Keem1" /&gt;

        &lt;title&gt;&lt;?php print $title; ?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;

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

[removed]

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

CroNiX: I'm going to try your code, thanks!

You can use absolute paths without specifying the domain / server adress.
Add a forward slash at the beginning of the path:

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

This only works if the folder style is in the root directory:
http://<<host>>/style/
You have to adjust the path above if it's different!

Oh, my god... it works! How did this not occur to me?
Thank you!
