NetBeans: Code changes to javascript & css files are not reflected in browser after saving

Question

This is driving me crazy. I'm developing an app in the NetBeans IDE in PHP, using the CodeIgnitor framework. I am making code changes to js and css files in NetBeans, saving them but the files the browser is loading do not contain the code changes. When I open the files directly outside of NetBeans, the saved changes aren't there.

I'm storing the javascript & css files in a folder called static, which is outside of the 'application' directory in CodeIgnitor. What's weird is any code changes in PHP files work fine. I'm guessing NetBeans is saving the changes to the js/css files somewhere else but can't find them on my hard drive. This just started happening, it was working 'normally' before.

Thanks for the help.

Check to make sure that the files are where you think they are. I would imagine that CodeIgniter is rewriting the request to be inside your application folder and thus bypassing your specific folder.
