Testing A Website
Hi ! everyone , i have made a css html based website and i am done with the checking of links and design and everything .
Now when i use browser to test it they save the site in the cache and later on when i want to surf it , it shows me the older pages saved in the browser cache . I have deleted my cache and browser history but still its the same .
I wanted to know how do you guys test a website after you are done with creating it .....
Thanks

How are you testing? Pages served from the local file system are not cached, so you should not see a problem there. If you have a test server on your machine - e.g. Apache - you can set it up to send "no-cache" headers.
Without control of your test environment, you can try using "shift" while clicking the reload button. (Sometimes "Ctrl" works if "shift" does not.)
Read a bit more about the cache on this Caching Tutorial.
Hope this helps.
Cordially, David

Another issue may be if your ISP caches the content with a proxy server.

upload to the server, and test it on different browers
