When developing heavily ajaxy web apps, it can be a real pain to iterate on CSS. The 'tweaking' in Firebug is of course invaluable, but every now and then the changes need to be committed to metal. At this point, it would be great to be able to get the 'real' CSS displaying on the page without losing the state of the page scripts.
I've worked on several projects now, and for this reason, one of the first debug features I create is a 'reload CSS' button that will refresh the CSS files without refreshing the page. This feature seems like it would be a good, small addition to Firebug, in, say, the dropdown on the CSS tab. I don't know if this helps at all, but the way I do it right now, is simply rewrite any stylesheet <link> tags to append a random string as a parameter (such as the current time), like so: <line rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css"> becomes <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css?123456"> Firefox seems to handle the rest. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
