Class Tip #2 --Test Early, Test Often

Sometimes when you make a change or add an element to a web page, and you Preview it in a browser to test it, the change doesn't show up!




Now what?

This occurs more often than it should, and can be quite frustrating. It happens after you have previewed the web page at least one previous time.

What happens is this... your browser has decided that you have viewed the page earlier, so instead of "loading" the newer version it displays the older version that is in the browsers cache.



The solution? First use your browsers refresh button or use it's keyboard shortcut. For Firefox, Chrome and Safari It's Command R (Mac) or Control R (Windows). For Internet Explorer it's the function key F5

If that doesn't work just Close the browser and run it again. More than likely you won't have to empty the browser's cache.

With that in mind go and visit the class home page, http://uofgts.com/dream/ I added 2 new tabs... if you can't see what I added, click that refresh button!
