Hi everyone,

I am trying to implement the bootstrap form at https://github.com/jackilyn/bootstrap-contact/ into my site. after integration it works fine in chrome, IE9 and firefox , but in IE8 , I am getting:

Quote: Couldn't load http://localhost/my_project/index.php/my...reset.less (404

Using chrome developer tools ( it is working in chrome ) , under the network tab I see that the directory for reset.less is

Quote:localhost/my_project/assets/less

not

Quote:localhost/my_project/index.php/my_controller/assets/less/

I am concerned that there is some strange routing problem involving CI and IE8. Can anyone offer me advice on how to fix this?

Thanks,

KC

It sounds like you are using site_url() instead of base_url() for creating the url to your asset. site_url() automatically adds index.php if index.php has not been removed via the config and htaccess.

site_url() will return your $config['base_url'] setting + $config['index'], so if $config['index'] = 'index.php', that's where it's coming from.
base_url() will return the base_url by itself (http://yoursite.com/ or whatever you have it set to)

Thanks for looking at it croNiX,

I am using

Code:
&lt;base href="&lt;?=base_url();?&gt;"&gt;

Code:
<!doctype html>

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" c charset=utf-8" /&gt;

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

&lt;title&gt;Bootstrap Contact Form&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;link rel="stylesheet/less" type="text/css" href="assets/less/bootstrap.less"&gt;

[removed][removed]

[removed][removed]

[removed][removed]

&lt;/head&gt;

and again if this was the case why would it work in the other 3 browsers?

What's your $config['base_url'] set to?

It looks like it should be 'http://localhost/my_project/'

What is $config['index_page'] set to?

Also, are you using an htaccess file? If so please post it.

Quote:$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';

no .htaccess file.

Quote:$config['base_url'] = '';

Thanks,

Try explicitly setting your base_url like I showed. Right now it's guessing (since it's empty), and it might be getting it wrong.

Hi CroNiX,

I followed your directions, and I have a clarification. I realized that the browser ( which is IE8 ) is set on Document mode IE7 standards. When I set Document mode IE8 standards it works normally. ( you go to tools->developer tools to do this in IE8 ).

So I may need to investigate more on CI, IE7 and bootstrap, unless you are aware of any specific issues or fixes.

Thanks,

KC
