The discussion of this topic inspired me to mention a technique I've
used in the past:
* put a Server-Side Include into the HEAD of your document
* put a <LINK> tag inside it.
I know that sounds insane, but hear me out. This way you can be
absolutely sure that your style sheet is not cached.
Say in the top of every document you have:
<!--#include virtual="/includes/linktag.txt">
and in "/includes/linktag.txt" you have one line:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/file.css">
and then you find out that "/path/to/file.css" is causing huge
problems with one or other browser. You fix the CSS, Save As, and
change the link tag in the include to:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/newfile.css">
and the next time someone sees your page, they get the fixed style sheet.
