Im facing this problem for few weeks now. I dont know why if i make any changes to my css file it is not showing.Not showing in any browser.Please tell me how to solve this.
A:
Have you tried renaming the new version of your CSS to CSSv2.css and then directing your page to use that? If that solves the stale-file issue, then you're just experiencing non-refreshing files. If not, you've got bigger issues.

For weeks? Try opening the style sheet itself (by entering its address into the browser's address bar) and pressing F5. If it still doesn't refresh, your problem lies elsewhere.
If you update a style sheet and want to make sure it gets refreshed in every visitor's cache, a very popular method to do that is to add a version number as a GET parameter. That way, the style sheet gets refreshed when necessary, but not more often than that.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css?version=51">

This sounds like your browser is caching your css. If you are using Firefox, try loading your page using Shift-Reload.

Is this a local custom CSS file? Is this your website? Maybe you should clear your cache.
Also the last CSS declaration takes precedence.

A good way to force your CSS to reload is to:
<link href='styles.css?version=1' rel='stylesheet'></link>
And then just increment the version number as you change your CSS. The browser will then obey. I believe StackOverflow uses this technique.

I always use ctrl+shift+F5 out of habit, it should force a full-refresh including by-passing any http proxies you may be going through.
