IE8 stylesheet changes not showing

[Chappers]

Hi,

 

Using IE8 and finding that if I make a change to a property in my CSS stylesheet and then upload it, I can't get the change to reflect in IE until it feels like it, usually a long time later. Tried what used to work in older versions of IE (CTRL + F5), but it's not helping.

 

Weirdly, I made a change to the stylesheet and found it wouldn't show in IE. So I clicked on the compatibility view thing, and that showed the page with my latest changes. Now, when I click between normal view and compatibility view, it's showing the page with old and later stylesheet properties. However, my last change to the stylesheet won't show on either view. Tried closing and re-opening browser, tried emptying temp files - even found and deleted the copy of the stylesheet from the temp folder but no difference.

 

What I don't get is that IE obviously has two copies of the stylesheet lingering, one which is being used when I am in normal view mode, and one when I'm using compatibility view. Yet a search showed only one copy residing in temp internet files, and even getting rid of that didn't work, as I said above.

 

Any ideas please?

You need to clear the cache. From memory, in IE you go to Tools > Options and there's something along the lines of "Delete Temporary internet files" or "Delete Offline Data".
