CSS

After a website change nothing happens

Posted Wed, 16/09/2009 - 12:21pm by Matt
Hint

If after a website change nothing happens try refreshing your browser.

One of the files types that can get updated when making changes to a website are the CSS files.

Browsers can cache CSS files. This means that on your first visit to a website your browser will download CSS files. Once the CSS files are downloaded the browser will use the copy of the CSS files stored on your computer. If CSS files change between visits then next time you view the website you might be using old CSS files.

To refresh your browser using Internet Explorer press F5.

Style sheet version control

Hint

Controlling which version of a style sheet (CSS) is important when you have repeat visitors to your website. Each time a person visits your website their browser will create a cached copy of style sheets.

One way to implement a simple form of style sheet version control is to use different names for various versions. That way when you make a change to a style sheet your visitors will see your website the way you planned it.
