Got caught with this one upgrading from an older version of CakePHP to 1.3

In your view, to add a css file to the $script_for_layout variable, you used to do this:

<?php $html->css("css_file", null, array(), false); ?>

In 1.3, you have to change this to:

<?php $html->css("css_file", null, array("inline"=>false)); ?>

Must have glossed over that on in the CakePHP 1.3 migration guide.

In 1.3, helpers should really

In 1.3, helpers should really be accessed via the View's property rather than via the $helper variable in order to prevent collisions:

<?php $this->Html->css("css_file", null, array("inline"=>false)); ?>
