CodeIgniter CSS not working

Question

I'm working with CodeIgniter and I'm trying to use some stylesheets.

In my autoload.php I have $autoload['helper'] = array('html','url');

and on my view page I have

<link rel="stylesheet" src="<?php echo base_url('assets/css/bootstrap.css')?>"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" src="<?php echo base_url('assets/css/bootstrap-theme.css')?>"/>
<script src="<?php echo base_url('assets/js/jquery-2.2.4.js')?>"></script>
<script src="<?php echo base_url('assets/js/bootstrap.js')?>"></script>

I'm attempting to use stylesheets from Bootstrap, to make a nav bar appear.

Here is my navbar:

    <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
        <div class="container-fluid">
            <div class="navbar-header">
                <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
                    <img alt="Brand" src="...">
                </a>
            </div>
        </div>
    </nav>

The problem is the CSS doesn't seem to be working at all.

When I look at the page source, the proper links are included to the stylesheets in my <head></head> tags, but I get no change on the page itself.

check the console | network tab.probably css file isn't loaded — Madhawa Priyashantha

@FastSnail What should I be looking for? It seems that only my javascripts are coming up, I don't see any css files in there. But the links for them when I go into my page source is correct. What should I do? — GrumpyCrouton

network tab in browser console show all files loaded in to your page.so you can see 404 error red mark if some files are missing — Madhawa Priyashantha

src should be href.read more

don't use src for link tag

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url('assets/css/bootstrap.css')?>"/>

Beat me to it! Nice spot.

What a way to feel stupid. Did it used to be src? I found the code in question here stackoverflow.com/questions/20697954/…

It's src for <script> tags, which is probably why you were confused.

@GrumpyCrouton it is probably mistake
