I don't know if it's a browser caching thing, but I've got a weird situation.
I've written a pretty cool style-editing tool into an app of mine that databases the values etc. and manages an accompanying .css file. It works like this: when you edit the styles, it saves the values to the db and then deletes the css file. Upon the loading of the next page different code sees that the .css file is missing and regenerates it. This way I can deploy this code across multiple sites that may not have a css file yet and simply the act of loading a page will generate the file. Also, when editing, all I have to do is delete the file... the site itself will take care of regenerating the file. For some reason, though, the file doesn't always delete/write. Sometimes it will and sometimes it won't. And even though I've written code in to alert me if an attempt to delete the file fails (ie; delete the file, then check to make sure it's truly no longer there), I never get an alert. The code thinks the file was deleted and upon page load the code thinks the file was created. However, no matter what I do -- directly accessing the css file through the browser, clicking submit several times to register my aggravation -- the style sheet won't regenerate. I can click around the site to different pages to see if maybe the browser is caching the style sheet for the one page I'm on. No go. Nothing changes. Then sometimes I'll sit for a minute or two and then load another page and wham -- the css file will have changed. So, am I going crazy? Is it a browser thing (caching the style sheet even though I hit Shift-Refresh) or could it be the server OS is back-logged? The server has a lot of file upload / download activity. All I can think of is that CF has a special relationship with the OS and can see that the file was actually deleted and then re-created, but that IO activity somehow isn't being reported to IIS and thus the rest of the developed world. Perhaps IIS is caching the css? Anyone else have this experience? It's driving me to think I shouldn't make a file but instead cache a query and shove the styles into the HTMl document directly, which I'd prefer not to do.
