    Hey

    I'm running the firefox developers toolbox and I received a css error message saying that there was an 'unknown declaration 'font-color'. Declaration dropped.' sure enough, i went into the file and found i had used font-color instead of color, made the change and saved it. The problem is that when i went back to that page the error is still there. It doesn't seem to have figured out that I made the change at all. I thought maybe it had something to do with caching the file but i went into the coldfusion administrator, which is the server i'm running and cleared the cache and still the same error. anyone know what the problem is?

    Try Ctrl F5 to clear the cache or use Disable / cache on the left of the web developer toolbar

    You're either editing the wrong page, typing the wrong URL, or changing the color in Firefox's edit CSS or Firebug which don't *SAVE* the file.

    here's the thing boss.. before you jump to conclusions..

    i'm editing a file on my computer called standard.css
    the web page i'm having the problem on includes this file from here http://127.0.0.1:8500/includes/standard.css

    which is obviously a local directory, and there are no coldfusion mappings for 'includes', it is a folder in my root directory, so i know where to find it.

    also, i'm editing it in notepad++, which as far as i know when i hit save, it really does save the file.
