pretty url static files not loading - php

Question

I'm building a social network and my htaccess pretty url isn't loading the css/js/img/php files. The following rules work
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^login$ index.php?act=login [NC]
RewriteRule ^register$ index.php?act=register [NC]
RewriteRule ^forgot$ index.php?act=forgot [NC]
But the following rule works but doesn't load the css/js/img
RewriteRule ^user/(\w+)/?$ index.php?act=profile&user=$1 [NC]
What I'm I doing wrong? I don't have a base url set. The home page url is
http://localhost/myWebsite/source/
I also have the following logic in my controller which is included at the top of the index page
if ($isLogged == true) {
// check if page request set
if (isset($_GET['act'])) {
// valid pages
$pgeArray = array("stories", "hashtags", "media", "user", "search");
// check if page is valid
if (in_array($_GET['act'], $pgeArray)) {
// get page name request
$pgeReq = $_GET['act'];
}else {
// show registration page
$pgeReq = "home";
}
}else {
// show registration page
$pgeReq = "home";
}
}
else {
// check if page request set
if (isset($_GET['act'])) {
// valid pages
$pgeArray = array("register", "login", "forgot");
// check if page is valid
if (in_array($_GET['act'], $pgeArray)) {
// get page name request
$pgeReq = $_GET['act'];
}else {
// show registration page
$pgeReq = "login";
}
}else {
// show registration page
$pgeReq = "login";
}
}

All I had to do is specify a base url <base href="http://localhost/myWebsite/source/" />
