Thanks for the feedback Keenan, I am running in development mode. I figured that it was because I was updating a stylesheet that was imported from the stylesheet that was linked from the layout file, but even when I update this file, the CSS doesn't update, so there still seems to be some sort of problem that is infuriating!
Thanks for the idea of using content_for - I'll use that in future, but it would be nice to know how to get the external css files to have a more instant effect. cheers, DAZ On Jan 8, 6:15 pm, Keenan Brock <kee...@thebrocks.net> wrote: > Hi DAZ, > > You may want to run in development mode? > > In development mode, the stylesheet tag, tweaks the stylesheet name > different style.css?1242346 - that last number is based upon the mod > date of the stylesheet .
