im a newbie at code igniter. and i have a problem getting my css to work right.

in my VIEW i have

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>css/main.css" />

but this works, only for my home page though (http://localhost:8888/ci/index.php)

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="application/views/css/main.css" />

im autoloading my url helper
my config, base url is http://localhost:8888/ci/index.php

these page loads, but css doesnt work.
http://localhost:8888/ci/index.php/main_.../index.php
http://localhost:8888/ci/index.php/main_.../about.php

Create an assets folder in your root where index.php is.

Assets
-- css
-- img
-- images
-- js
-- media

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo base_url();?>assets/ css/main.css" />
