Why are browsers reading style sheets that been removed?

Hello … Trey here .. new to this forum .. hi ?

Working on at a site at work that must work in IE 5.5, IE6, and NN4 … attached a style sheet with a link tag for netscape and the @import for IE. I then removed the style sheet references to check something (both the link and the @import), yet the pages are still referencing the style sheet. i took the style sheets off the server, and IE is not reading it anymore, but netscape is still looking for it and then sending an error that it can’t find the page (the link indictaes it’s looking for the style sheets).

How could this possibly happen if you take it out of the code?

very confused ?,

Visit the page in question again with Netscape, view source and look for the link and @import calls to the style sheets. Chances are real good that NS hasn't pulled the newer version of the HTML file from the server.

Check this in the NS peferences:

  • 1. Edit > Preferences


  • 2. Expand the "Advanced" option on the left side of the preferences window.


  • 3. Click on the "Cache" option that drops down beneath.


  • 4. Look for "Document in cache is compared to document on network:" and put a dot next to "Every Time" when you are developing. Also, click the "Clear memory cache" and "Clear disk cache" buttons.


  • 5. Revisit the page. It should pull everything new from the server.

    Success!
