codeigniter: loading multiple views

i want to assign a variable $layout_data['navigation']=$this->load('layout/navigation') navigation is just a list. when i pass this variable to my layout the list comes at the top.

here are my codes:

htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /ci/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /ci/index.php/$1 [L]

controller home

<?php
    class Home extends CI_Controller{
        function index() {

            $layout_data['navigation']=$this->load->view('navigation');
            $this->load->view('layout/main',$layout_data);
        }//end of index
    }//end of class
    ?>

layout/navigation (its a view)

  <li><a href="#"><span>About Us</span></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><span>Objective</span></a></li>

layout/main (this is my layout)

As an addendum, you may want to add some of that logic to a MY_Controller. I'm guessing you will be loading the navigation every page, so do that load logic as part of the constructor in MY_Controller and then extend that class, and make sure there is a protected variable like $data[] that exists as well. This way you can enforce consistent naming of the navigation data and make sure it always gets passed.

This line:

$layout_data['navigation'] = $this->load->view('layout/navigation');

...will output the view immediately. You need to set the third parameter to TRUE:

$layout_data['navigation'] = $this->load->view('layout/navigation', NULL, TRUE);

The second parameter is your data array, should you need it. You can pass in an empty string or NULL if you don't need it.

It's here in the user guide, all the way down at the bottom:

Returning views as data

There is a third optional parameter lets you change the behavior of the function so that it returns data as a string rather than sending it to your browser. This can be useful if you want to process the data in some way. If you set the parameter to true (boolean) it will return data. The default behavior is false, which sends it to your browser. Remember to assign it to a variable if you want the data returned:
