It has been ages since I’ve done anything, but I’m back.
I’m trying to implement a new version of flashcards.
Something strange is happening — it is a huge struggle to get… Firefox? My web platform?… to actually run new files I am uploading. It is some kind of cache or memory problem. It may be complicated by caches acting differently for html, php, javascript, etc.???
I think I have finally determined that if I open the page that I’ve changed in Firefox, go into to Browser Tools and choose Web Developer Tools and then hit refresh, the new changes will take effect.
That appears to work, but is cumbersome.
There should be a way to turn off caching altogether. I tried doing that, but it didn’t appear to work — I’m not sure if it turns it off at all, or only for particular windows in the browser, or what.
I think I may just need to step back and do a tutorial on web development… either that or figure out how to do development on MAMP, which I I think I had figured out a couple of years ago, but have now forgotten.
Yuck.
Next day. To ensure I have the latest code actually running I must:
- Refresh the File Manager page on my site
- Go into the web developer tool on firefox and reload the page.
It is not always necessary to do both or even either of these.
