asp.net - How to prevent CSS caching on a web page?

Question

I am learning to develop xhtml, css web pages. Often I am doing changes in CSS but it do not reflect on page because of browser cacheing and if I manually clear cahceing it shows latest code effects. Is there a thing I can put in code to make browker not to cache stuff ? Any advice please

Answer 1

You can append a random query parameter to the stylesheet url (for example via javascript or server side code). It will not change the css file that is being loaded, but it will prevent caching, because the browser detects a different url and will not load the cached stylesheet.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://mysite/style.css?id=1234">
