Notes: On changes not showing up.

[phil karras]

Here are a few very common errors for this kind of problem:

First: remember to SAVE the changes. Just because you changed the file in notepad does NOT mean they can be picked up by the browser. The Browser can only pick up from a file on the drive as it has been saved.

Second: Click on the refresh button on your browser once you have saved the file in notepad. You must FORCE the refresh.

Third: Make sure you are loading the file you are editing! This is a common problem, we THINK we are viewing the file we are editing only to find out some time later that they are two different files! One in the browser test/index.html and a different one in the editor: test/bak/index.htm.

When in doubt: create a new file and edit it to be sure you are doing things correctly. You should be able to see the changes in a simple HTML file. Add a new title, or something.

Hope one of those helps.
