Refreshing page while working on css

Post by hallsofvallhalla »

What is the trick to being able to refresh the page and it reload all css sheets? I do not want to clear cache every time.

I can use incognito mode in chrome but that also does not use sessions.

Why wouldn't you want to clear the cache every time? That is the only sure-fire way to do it.

Either Control + F5 or Shift + F5, depending on browser and platform ;)

Or of course send an header "expires: now" or equivalent while serving the CSS.

ah see I was trying that and it wasn't working. It was because I am in a Macrapbook and i had to use all my fingers just to make it work.

Hmm on Mac it`s usually the command key + R. So cmd + R should do the trick.
