CSS Problems

[Steve Wetzel]

OK, I created a new CSS sheet and linked it to a Web Page. I am trying to
create a new style. I click on the CSS sheet, and click new style, add the
style, see it in the CSS file, save the file.

Now I go back to the Web Page, that is linked to the Style sheet but in the
style list I cannot see the name of the new style I created.

What am I doing wrong???

Steve,
I assume you mean that you don't see it when you do a "view source"
when looking at a webpage.

If you're linking the webpage to the CSS stylesheet using the
<link REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" href="/mystyles.css"
title="Default" >
format, then you won't see the styles in the webpage -- they are
loaded into cache separately.

If you're linking the webpage to the CSS stylesheet using the
@import
format, then you SHOULD see the changes listed when you "view source."

However, your browser is the critter that is linking or importing the
stylesheet. Your browser has a cache. In my experience, the browsers
tend to use the old stylesheet from the cache and not check for a new
version.

Therefore, clear your cache and it should work.
