Hi,

There are numerous threads on where to store CSS, JavaScript, image files, etc. Try the search facility.

I prefer the CSS file to be in my application directory and use the following code.

Code:
&lt;head&gt;

  ...

  &lt;base href="&lt;?= base_url() .APPPATH ?&gt;" /&gt;

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

  ...

&lt;/head&gt;

i get error in base_url()...

Quote:Fatal error: Call to undefined function base_url()

every body says that the base_url should be set in config.php. but in config.php
the only base_url i found is $config['base_url'] = ""; it is not a function. even
though i used $config['base_url'] still getting error because the $config is not
set. how can i use base_url() properly?

need help....

config.php

Code:
$config['base_url']    = "http://7am.ca";

autoload.php

Code:
$autoload['helper'] = array('url');

index_view.php

Code:
&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="&lt;?=base_url();?&gt;/assets/css/7am.css" media="all"&gt;

That combo works for me... give it a try I suppose.

or just load in your controller....

Code:
$this-load->helper('url');

I had done that before as well, however I found that I used it over and over therefor it made more sense to auto load it. And I think it equates to less typing too Big Grin

I'm with you Lee, I can't live without the URL helper... always gets autoloaded, along with the session library.

Quick note through about base_url, "Typically this will be your base URL, WITH a trailing slash". If you're using htaccess to rewrite, then it won't matter, but if you aren't, some of the functions may not work as expected.
