Brett, "?" is not a suffix. It's a query-string separator, see appropriate RFCs on this. It's the same as the PHP mentioned by you - the file requested is the "style.css" with the parameter. However, as long as it's just a vanilla CSS, the parameter is simply discarded. For the server. Not for the client - different parameter, different cache, different request. So when you change the parameter, the browser requests the fresh version. -- Jan Brasna :: www.alphanumeric.cz | www.janbrasna.com | www.wdnews.net ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
