How to Embed CSS into a View using the Yii Framework 1.1

This can be done using the registerCss() method of the CClientScript class. CClientScript manages JavaScript and CSS stylesheets for views.  registerCss()registers a piece of CSS code.

Place code similar to the example code below in your View

Yii::app()->clientScript->registerCss('customCSS',<<<CSS
   li {
    font-weight: normal;
   }
CSS
);

In the code above the first parameter is a string and ID that uniquely identifies this piece of CSS code. The second Parameter contains the CSS code.

This code will automatically embed CSS into your webpage using your VIEW.
