How to Add external Javascript and CSS for CakePhp

I am new to CakePhp. I want to get the help of the external javascript and css files. I have downloaded those files. And included those files in webroot directory (js and css sub directories). So If I want to use those in a view.ctp how can I call them. Can you explain me simply ?

Simply use the HTML helper like so :

  print $this->Html->css("name_of_css_file");
  print $this->Html->script("name_of_javascript_file");

So long as you not doing anything crazy and are using the default ".css" and ".js" extensions - you can leave out the extensions from the above code.

Cake is still PHP. You must add link do css in head of html file (.ctp view file).

There are two ways, write link tag with rel and src attributes or using HtmlHelper
