Also, are you using a proxy server? If so, it's possible the page is coming from the server cache, not yours.

Browse All TopicsHello everyone.
Thanks for taking a look at this for me, cuz my head is hurting from hitting the desk.
Ok, here is the short scenario:
I have a css that is working fine. I upload it to a server and reload my page that points to the one on the server. HOWEVER, the page looks the same? I download the css, just to make sure it is right, and it is.
I empty everything from the browser, ie histroy files you name it.
I reload the page, no change. I take a look in ie 6 view files, and grab the .css to my desktop. And, it is the change I made the other night. I got a friend to make sure the .css is the right version on the server, which it is and the code does point to the right css, cuz it reflects the css changes I made the other night.
So, what the hell is going on? I have scowered the net for answers, and came up with some caching mumbo jumbo.
My http header is below, if it helps.

yep, try a different browser or computer first. may not help if there are multiple caches between you and your server (Some services such as AOL cache and large domains such as universities cache(sometimes multiple times)...if your server is in a server farm or is one of many for load-balancing, you might alsol see this problem.
A more labor intensive solution but practical sometimes if you are coding full-time, is run Apache on your machine (I run it under Win98 on one of my laptops) and then serve your

It is time to clean this abandoned question up.
I am putting it on a clean up list for CS.

zero PAQ ... A 5 way split would probably be fairer, but I don't want Netminder to have a heart attack on a 20 point question. Even I can't be that cruel. LOL

sometimes css files don't show changes easily, i've run into this problem before.
silly suggestion, if you are using IE (sounds like you are), hold down the "ctrl" button and then hit refresh.
see if that makes any difference.
