Does CSS Cache?

[kfcSmitty]

Just wondering..I think it does, but some guy seems completely against it and says it doesnt.

And I know this could be in a better section of the forum, but I didn't want a post count for it :P

Looks like it does. Even seems like some browsers doesn't look for a new one..

Does it cache on Linux? :s

[NoteMe]

Hehe..you don't have to do that. It was just a joke.....but it seems pretty reliable to me. And if I don't remember wrong I have to press Ctrl+F5 to check the changes on my website if I have changed the CSS. But I can't remember 100% sure though. But you can always check your temp internet files folder though. That should give you an answer..

It looks weird to me. VBF has inline CSS, so you can't tell from that. but my home page has an extern CSS file. But it doesn't seem to cach the css file, NOR the html page...w00t?

lol thanks for your help...ill just assume inline css are cached and external arent

OK, this took me some time to figgure out, but I now see what it is doing. It looks like it is caching some JS and some CSS in some default files.


When I clean ALL my cookies it leaves 4 files pretty much blank. They are called:

_CACHE_001
_CACHE_002
_CACHE_003
_CACHE_MAP


When I go to my home page the first file contains both JS and some CSS + something my text editor can't read. The second and third file only stores CSS from my site. So at least it is caching it somehow. But no idea why it keeps separete files for it though. But if I go to a new site, it will keep the CSS in those files, and add the CSS and JS for other sites, so the files grow big pretty fast.
