Techniques to prevent caching of external style sheets

It isn't usually a problem with Fireox. I set my privacy to clear most things except the cookies.

Then I have CookieCuller which protects the cookies I want and kills the others. I simply clear private data. done.

For IE, you are right, it is a real mess. I use ILSystemWiper which does the job properly. You don't need to close IE when it does it either.

I only do this IF Ctrl + F5 doesn't work when refreshing a page.

Oh come on.

I thought it was complusiry to make at yeast ane typo per pist.

Haven't you heard of FireOx? It's Firefox's stronger browser companion, useful for table-heavy sites with tonnes of JS and Flash that bring FF to a crawl.

hehehehe, FireOx, I'm gonna have to market that

@WolfCry, how long does it take you to do that stuff?

@OP ...
- in most browsers, shift+reload will force the browser to completely renew the page.
- in IE, ctrl+refresh does the same thing.

Completely renewing the page should force the browser to get fresh copies of all page assets, eg. images, javascript & css.

If you are really tricked up, you can set the headers the server will return for the CSS file to tell the browser not to cache it. I can't say whether or not that will have any effect (it should). Shift/ctrl + reload/refresh is easy enough for me.

Just teasing CT

Chris, I can't claim to have created that - it's balrog from LOTR. I don't know why, but that image popped into my head when I read Fireox.

edit/ and no, I'm not a LOTR geek. I didn't even know it's name.

Aha. Yup. I can believe that. No chance you're a LOTR geek. None. Whatsoever.

Whats a LOTR Geek? I bet wolfie is one though

Weren't they the little critters crushed under the big critters at the final bbq?

Oh the youth of today.

Never read classic books. Watch the dvd's instead and think that's OK. In fairness, the films weren't bad, but the books are so much better.

Lord Of The Rings.

Well I'm not young so I guess that didn't apply to me
But I did read the books - once many moons ago while in jr high school and again more recently but before the movies were released. I did enjoy the movies and long to visit New Zealand now.

TPH, is that you?

TPH, is that you?

no, this is:

That pic is scary. Truly you? What's the badge?

You're Robert Patrick?

Is that just your stage name?

Can you really melt into metal?

Cool.

(he he)

Damn, you found out.

Oh well, back to Cyberdyne I go

Oh, if you had meant Lord of the Rings why didn't you just say so :roll:

I'm not a human md5 hashing engine.

and I Read both the 'Hobbit' (which people tend to forget about and needs to be read first) and the 'Lord of the Rings' many many years ago

TPH does look mean & moody; but if you purse your lips any further you'll get a reputation you may not like

Geez, I am kind of sorry I started this thread now. I better quit while I am ahead and before TPH busts me for running a pirated copy of VS.NET.

cheers,

ps Was your issue ever solved? Even dealt with? --g

I dunno - I enjoyed reading the hobbit... Tolkien is a pretty colorful writer. James Joyce is what I'd call a boring read.

Yeah, my problem was the combination of several things. For one I was using ie partially, second I had to screw around with the asp.net caching settings, then I added some meta no cache data to the header of the masterpage and I was able to finally see a consistent result.

Stupid asp.net....

A few suggestions were made but has no response was received from the OP so it left the thread open for hijacking something we are past masters at

Now as for that absolutely absurd comment about Tolkien being a bit of a boring read I'm just flabergasted, and can't possibly take the remark seriously.

Certainly not the Lord of the Rings, which is a real page turner for me. I did skip the poems first time through, though.

Now the Silmarilion, that's an alltogether different matter.

I read the Hobbit at school. Loved it. Never read the LOTR trilogy though.

QUICK GUESS WHAT'S ON SCIFI UK TONIGHT AT 10PM?????

A marathon of season Ⅶ of Red Dwarf? My Hero? An Inconvenient Truth? Dr.Who?

cheers,

Ah but which one?

Let's go with #9, as this incarnation has not so amateurish special effects. The story lines are just as silly and the new guy is totally annoying with the stupid grin. Not a favorite series with me.

cheers,

No no you're all wrong, I thought my picture I posted up there would give you a clue

I'm going to go watch it now

Probably Medium

Smeeeeeeg Heeeeaaaaad!

@Jenni: It is good that you found a combination that works for you.

@Chris: Medium? I can't seem to generate any interest, so I hope not.

@TPH: What? The Thin Blue Line? I wouldn't consider that SciFi.

I'm guessing An Inconvenient Truth. It purports to be science, and it is highly fictional.

cheers,
