I suspect Clint is referring to how to handle it from a developer point of view rather than a user. Most of us should know how to refresh our browsers. There are various options including query strings and symlinking the real directory or file to a directory or file that contains a version number. I use a tool called juicer that concatenates and minifies CSS and javascript for deployment. It has a couple of options for handling cache busting <http://cjohansen.no/en/ruby/juicer_a_css_and_javascript_packaging_tool >. The author of this tool also describes the cache issue here ><http://cjohansen.no/en/ruby/juicer_a_css_and_javascript_packaging_tool > Cheers, Tim ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
