Thanks for the clarification. Nifty, useful trick ;) I think I'd heard of it before, but had no idea why it worked.

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/

does the forced refresh help at all?

[css-d] CSS Browser Cache?
When I'm developing a site, I make frequent changes to a master CSS file. I am dealing with some dynamic content, so I must upload and develop on a live server/staging area. My question is: how do I ensure that the browsers I am using will display my site using the latest edits from the CSS file? That is, is there a way to force the major browsers to reload a fresh CSS with each refresh? This can be quite vexing... Thanks! Christian. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
