I am trying to apply css in the Zend Framework. My css file is in public/css/layout.css. First of all I added the following code lines in bootstrap.php:

protected function _initPlaceholders()
 {
   $this->bootstrap('View');
   $view = $this->getResource('View');
   $view->doctype('XHTML1_STRICT');

   // Set the initial title and separator:
   $view->headTitle('My Site')
        ->setSeparator(' :: ');

   // Set the initial stylesheet:
   $view->headLink()->prependStylesheet('../../css/layout.css');
 }

Which simply specifies the title and stylesheet to be used. Then in layout.phtml I add the following code:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<?php
echo $this->headTitle();
echo $this->headScript();
// add a link to the site style sheet
echo '';
echo $this->headLink();

?>
</head>

Which simply adds link of the stylesheet specified in bootstrap.php.

But when I run the project then I am getting the form without css. Why is this? When I check the css with Firebug in a Mozilla browser it says:

<h3>Exception information:</h3>
<p>
<b>Message:</b> Invalid controller specified (css) </p>
<h3>Stack trace:</h3>
<h3>Request Parameters:</h3>
<pre>array (
   'controller' =&gt; 'css',
   'action' =&gt; 'layout.css',
   'module' =&gt; 'default',
 ) </pre>

Please help me out to resolve this issue.

    Try 

    $view->headLink()->prependStylesheet('/css/layout.css');

    this should help.
