CSS cached?
Hi, just wondering if the TXP caches the CSS via template system/database?
I prefer to not use TXP to manage my css, but I would like to know how TXP handles caching and styles… Is not it true that when a CSS file is served-up as a php file, some browsers will not cache the styles (unless you do some tricky header hacking)? Or, is it as simple as adding a “type” to the style call?: <style type=“text/css”>@import “mycss.php?n=foo”;</style>
Any info one could provide would be great. :D
Many TIA,
Cheers,
Micky

Re: CSS cached?
TXP4.0.4 uses Last-Modified headers. On repeat visits, this ‘prevents’ TXP from having to send the complete style sheet to the browser each time. I don’t think the “type” attribute has any effect on this.

Re: CSS cached?
Excellent, thanks for that info Ruud. And, just to clarify, the styles are stored in the site database, and the “n” param is how one would switch/target other styles in the site DB?
Sorry if noob questions. I just want to make sure I understand how the system works. :)
Many thanks for your time Ruud, much appreciated. ;)

Yes, n = to specify which stylesheet and all styles are stored in the database.
