Question

If i have some bad css in site.css file and this has been cached from the user’s browser, is it then possible to simply rename the file with the fixed css in order to have the user’s browser reload data that had been formerly cached?

If not, is there a way to mimick clearing a browser cache?

Thanks

If you simply add a dummy querystring value to the css reference the browser will get a fresh copy of the file since different url means different resource. For instance

styles.css?anything=1

Renaming the file would work too but that’s not necessary.
