Hi Try sticking a revision number on the style/script url like so:
href/src="/path/to/file?r=12" Browsers will download and cache that link (depending on the cache settings of the browser/ web server / proxy). When you make a revision to the file, bump the revision number: href/src="/path/to/file?r=13" The browser will then download the new revision as it doesn't match what it is in the cache. If you use a revision control system like (svn, bazaar, git etc etc) this can be done to some extent automagically with some server side scripting by looking up the revision number of the file in question and tacking it on the the query string (you don't want to do that on every http request so it's best to try and do it statically whenever the file is changed e.g by creating an html template ready for inclusion) - otherwise just bump the revision numbers manually. There are other methods to look at when dealing with caching including the HTTP headers that are sent by your web server which tell browsers and proxies if and how they should cache files. That's a large topic in itself so I'd suggest googling for some basic caching how-tos to get started.
