Well I was thinking that the old source code I got from the other guy Nouman who was working on this Home Work Center Project that was and is being coded in CodeIgniter was not very much upto date. I fixed the Javascript issues; in fact a lot of them including the JavaScript date picker calendar. It fits well, works on IE 6, IE7, Safari and Firefox; haven’t yet checked with others. But I am sure it will!. Anyhow the problem I was facing was that in different folders in Views for CodeIgniter , if we are using images, we have to use relative URLs in most of the pages, which gets quite troublesome sometimes. As long as it is the CodeIgniter I am working on, I don’t want to use my own includes having setting of the site because this is why we are using CodeIgniter .

Solution:

So cutting short the details, if you want to use the site’s URL and relative paths according to your site’s base url, here is the solution use site_url(). The link contains all the details you will need to use for your views and it also tells which helpers you need to load.
