codeigniter redirect from a view

I am building a site entirely on codeigniter .I have set my default controller as cuff. so whenever users type the domain name it takes the control to that controller. 

class Cuff extends CI_Controller {
 public function __construct()
       {
            parent::__construct();
            $this->load->helper('url');
       }

    public function index()
    {
        $this->load->view('index');
    }

    public function navigate()
    {
        echo "test";
        exit;
}

}

In my index view I want an anchor to navigate to a function in my default controller . so when I write <a href="<?php echo base_url();?>navigate">our collection</a> , it says page not found .

I have even set the base url like this 

$config['base_url'] = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$config['base_url'] .= preg_replace('@/+$@','',dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])).'/';

Cant seem to figure out the issue.

Simply you use

"<?php echo site_url();?>/cuff/navigate">our collection</a>

The problem is in your routing.

Edit your routes.php (located in the folder ../application/config/) and add the code below:

$route['navigate'] = "Cuff/navigate";

Hope this helped you.

Set $config['base_url'] ='';

In your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|js|css|favicon|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

Make sure your controller is in controller's folder (not any subfolder) and is properly named cuff.php

Try navigating to http://yoursite/cuff/navigate

If you still see errors try rewriting the last line in .htaccess to:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

(without question mark).

Please tell if that helps!

EDIT: and your links better all be in this form: 

<a href="<?php echo site_url('cuff/navigate');?>">Link</a>

You missed the controller name 

<a href="<?php echo base_url();?>cuff/navigate">our collection</a>
