Yes, doing the once removed @import makes stuff tricky. The browser very often refuses to reload the pages, even if you ask nicely. Sometimes clearing the browser cache, closing the browser, and reopening it is the only way. The rails trick of adding the extra bit to the end of the style sheet only works with sheets included directly from the page (AND using the rails tag) > > > 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. > I think you'll have to take that up with the ie and firefox people. :) > cheers, > > DAZ > > > > On Jan 8, 6:15 pm, Keenan Brock 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 .

Re: CSS files not updating
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 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 .

Re: CSS files not updating
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 . So when you change the sheet, the browser requests a different file and you don't have that problmem. Sometimes when I am working with stylesheets, I make the mods directly in my individual page rather than in the main applicaiton file. in my layout I typically have a ... <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application' %> <%= yield :header -%> and on my individual page I'll have: <% content_for :head do %> <% end -%> I tweak the css in the individual page until things are what I want. Then I cut and paste that stuff into the public/stylesheets/ application.css file. [I usually use the application name and not the word 'applicaiton' but everyone does things a little differently.] Hope that helps, Keenan On Jan 8, 2009, at 6:13 AM, DAZ wrote: > > I'm having a bit of trouble with CSS files not always displaying the > most recent styles after I edit the file.
