Mod_rewrite, trying to exclude images and css files

I am trying to find a way to exclude image files and css files from my mod_rewrite permissions

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

#SecFilterInheritance Off
ErrorDocument 404 /fourohfour.php

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(myurl\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(?:css|png|jpe?g|gif)$ [NC,OR]  #my attempt at excluding

RewriteRule ^articles/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /article.php?id=$1&articleTopic=$2 [QSA,L]

Problem is with the exclusion line isn't quite accurate and I need help with it

If I go to any phpscript in my directory that isn't included in my .htaccess rewrite.. say for isntance www.myurl.com/articlelinks.php I get redirected to this:

http://www./articlelinks.php

To complicate things further:

If I go to: http://www.myurl.com/articles/1/Dorsal+and+Volar+Intercalated+Segment+Instability+(DISI+and+VISI) the CSS files don't load

If I go to:

http://www.myurl.com/articles.php?id=1&articleTopic=Dorsal+and+Volar+Intercalated+Segment+Instability+(DISI+and+VISI) the proper document is loaded with css and images

Please help?

You have an OR flag in your condition, but there is no other condition after it, and that makes mod_rewrite think: %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(?:css|png|jpe?g|gif)$ or (anything). Try removing the OR

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(?:css|png|jpe?g|gif)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^articles/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /article.php?id=$1&articleTopic=$2 [QSA,L]

The reason your CSS isn't loading is probably because you're using relative URL paths in your document. Try either changing those links to absolute URL paths (starts with a /) or add this to the page's header:

<base href="/" />

The blank host problem, not sure why that's happening. Try adding this condition:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$

so that the rule looks like:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(myurl\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]
