Hey guys

Im just trying to use CSS with my view files, i read http://codeigniter.com/wiki/css/ and it sort of works, except that it produces:

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href='http://localhost/helpdesk/css/style.css' type="text/css" media="screen" />

my actual css file is located in http://localhost/helpdesk/application/views/css/style.css i could hard code this in but i dont want to...

I could also just change the base_url option in config.php but i dont want to incase that breaks stuff..


can someone help?

I typically have my Javascript and CSS folders outside the application directory. I dont' know if that is best practice but you will then be able to utilize the base_url() function without changing it to accomodate your current setup.

-application
-config
-controller
-...
-...
-css
-js
-system

You should use your app folder outside the public_html folder........ thats why you should have a public/assets folder

Please check .htaccess on your application folder, maybe set "deny all"?

It's to deny all for a reason!
