CSS changes won't update, but HTML changes do

So – for the sake of this question – please assume that my path to the CSS file is correct – and that I am uploading my files to the proper directory on the server (I have checked and double-checked and then double-checked again, as well as tested in various ways, so I know these things to be true).
I have a site that I am making changes to. When I make changes to the CSS file, I cannot see my changes reflected in the pages, even though the time stamp on the server shows that the most up-to-date CSS file is there. If I put the path to the CSS file in a browser – it shows the old, unchanged, code. However – if I make changes to HTML files – the changes show up right away like normal. However – if I change the NAME of the CSS file (and update the HTML page with the new name) the changes show. But then the NEW CSS file exhibits the same odd behavior)
Last night, I made changes like this that didn’t show. This morning, the changes ARE there, though I am experiencing the same problem of lack of immediate response.
I’ve cleared my cache, I’ve rebooted, I’ve run an ipconfig /flushdns and i've used different browsers to check my work,
Can anyone think of any reason that HTML changes would show up immediately, but CSS changes wouldn’t?
Thanks…
Dave

Just a bit more evidence for this mystery:
I uploaded all the relevant files to a completely different server - and everything acts just as it should. CSS changes update immerdiately, HTML changes update immediately. Strange...

  • Changes to Template Won't Update Corresponding HTML Files

    I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 and when I make changes to a template and save, it not longer updates all pages associated with that template. The first time this happened, I deleted the file cache and that took care of the problem. When I tried that again, it didn't work. I also tried deleting the Configuration folder.  I'm really hoping to find a fix for this because I have over 3,000 pages that need to be updated. Please help!
    Here's the message I should be getting:
    "Update Template Files: Update all files based on this template?"
    Here's the message that I am getting:
    "You have changed a template. Do you want to update all documents in your local site that use this template?"

    I am not making changes in the editable region that I expect to be made across the pages - I am making changes to where the editable regions lie within the template. In 99.9% of the cases, the changes were made to the non-editable regions.
    Unfortunately, I don't get to control how many pages are managed under one template. I am managing a departent's worth of pages for a university - this includes templates individual to each department division. Some division's have an outrageous number of pages associated with them - mostly for legal purposes. But none of that matters. What matters is that the pages are not updating as they should be. Do you have anything to add about that?

  • Airport won't update but works otherwise

    I have an Airport Extreme. I've been trying to update to add a PC HP Netbook but it refuses to update. Error states, "need computer to be closer or try again" sort of thing. All of my other three laptops/printer, etc. can access and works fine. It just won't restart/update even with a direct ethernet connect. Any suggesions?

    There was an object involved that needed to be loaded. It did not have the full path.  That's it.
    <cfset myObj = createoboject("component", "alpha.maintenance")>
    Needed to be:
    <cfset myObj = createoboject("component", "beta.alpha.maintenance")>
    and it started working fine then.
    (wiping egg from face)
    If so, then, in my opinion, the egg is on Adobe's face, not yours. The error message should just have been something like "Component not found". Just one line, instead of 199.

  • Why won't CSS changes save -  Are Reflected Locally, but not there when uploaded.

    I have recently re-installed Dreamweaver CC 2014.1.1. I am editing an existing site http://www.travelight.tv/test.html. CSS changes won't save (i.e ".righthalf" and <strong> and H3.)  I finally replaced the class with a table for the sake of time. Still can't save <strong> and H3 changes. CSS Designer Panel correctly shows the H3 font and the hex color (ee5e33) - but the color palate shows black. The uploaded document reflects gray. The changes are reflected properly locally, but not when uploaded to server. The time/date stamp doesn't update, despite saving several times. What am I missing?

    Sorry about that, I managed to get the test URL wrong. http://www.travelight.tv/test/index.html. I had to remove the righthalf class from the document, but the <strong> and <h3> tags are still having issues.As for the location, I am opening the one that is linked to the document from the bar at the top of the document - it is the only one named travelight.css. When I logged in this morning, I noticed that it is showing the icon as a Wordpad document even though the File Type shows it as a Cascading Style Sheet - I have tried saving it as an html file and have re-created it, but it remains a Wordpad document. Below is the a screen shot of the folder.

  • Mac won't update software or access iTunes shop. Message comes up with 'not connected to the net. Check connections' error. I still have internet access. Changed my Apple ID but no result. Repaired permissions and re-installed operating system.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • I had to change my Apple ID. However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID.

    However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID. For instance, I had to change my apple ID from (for instance, "[email protected]") to something else ("[email protected]"). I changed it in settings to the new one, but when I go to update apps, my phone is still connected to "[email protected]"
    What should I do?

    In the Finder do a Get Info on one of those files & the folder it's in, report what it says for privileges.
    Oh, did you maybe change your short username/Home Folder's name?

  • The Apple ID has been changed on my iPad but the apps won't update with the new id and password, including the apps that came with the iPad so I can't delete and reinstall with new Apple ID

      What do you do if you have bought a used iPad and the apps won't update without the original id and password.  Can't delete the apps that come with the iPad and reinstall them so what do I do?

    Correct. An app can only be updated under the Apple ID that was used to orginally acquire the app. If that is a problem you can delete the app and download again under the new userid. If you paid for the app you will have to pay again. Your old Apple ID does not go away so there is no reason to not use it to download the apps.
    You cannot delete the apps that came with IOS. If you want to "hide" the apps simply put the apps into an application folder by dragging one app onto another. You can do this to all the IOS apps.

  • I had to change my FeedBurner links and now my podcasts won't update

    I have six podcasts on iTunes right now. I recently had to change the Feed address on FeedBurner for four of them and now I don't know how to change the Feed that the podcasts update from. So I have four podcasts that won't update. Any idea how to change the source Feed of a podcast while still keeping the same iTunes everything.

    Without more information one can only comment quite generally. The usual method is that people create the podcast in a program or online service, producing a feed which they then submit to Feedburner. From this, Feedburner creates its own version of the feed, adding some extra tags, and this is then submitted to the iTunes Store. As far as the Store is concerned the Feedburner feed is the podcast feed.
    You can change the feed from which Feedburner works in Feedburner, but I can't advise on specifics - you would need to look in Feedburner's Help for that. Doing this doesn't affect the Feedburner feed as far as the Store is concerned.
    If you want to move the Store to using a different Feedburner feed you need to follow the proces described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
    You do not need to do this if you are only changing the feed Feedburner works from.

  • Changed id, won't update on icloud.

    I changed my apple id, but it won't change on icloud on my ipod touch.  I can log into icloud on the computer w/ the new id, but the ipod has the old id on icloud and won't allow me to change it.  W/o it I can't get my calendar to sync w/ my son's baseball schedule which I synced to my gmail calendar on the computer, but it won't update to the ipod. 

    I sync'd my son's baseball schedule from highschoolsports.net into my gmail calendar.  I can see it on my computer gmail calendar, but it won't sync with my ipod calendar.  If I manually type something onto my computer calendar, it immediately shows up on my ipod. 
    Also I downloaded the app "USA Holidays" today, and even though it says it added the holidays to my calendar, they are not there. 

  • I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

    I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

    iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
    It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
    When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
    If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
    Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
    Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
    So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
    If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
    Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
    Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.
    http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2

  • IPhoto will not initiate. Downloaded update, but not change.  Any help out there?

    iPhoto will not initiate. Downloaded update, but not change.  Any help out there?

    If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
