This is because those .css and .js files have been cached in the browser. When the user accesses the URL, it will take the cached .js and .css files. That is the reason those new changes will not appear to the user. The user either has to clear the browser cookie & reload the page or else he or she has to do a hard refresh of the page by pressing Ctrl+F5. But, we cannot ask each and every user to clear the cookie of their browser. We cannot even ask them to go for a hard refresh of the page. So, we can hack this through an approach called Cache Busting. You can use today's date and time through javascript I endorse this approach as it helped me from a deployment and code management perspective. Suppose, I have done some changes today and upgraded the site offline when the client is not using the site. Assume that the client has used the site yesterday and if I append today's date and time as a query string to the path of the file, then it searches for the file with query string equal to today's date and time when the client has loaded the page. Since it doesn't recognize the file in the cache, then it will download the file from the server, hence the user can see the latest version of file. Here, the user doesn't need to go for a hard refresh through ctl+f5 or deleting the cookie. Inside the tag load all those files which you think get updated more often. In the above example, I have created a variable under the script tag and get a datetime value. I am loading a .js file (I am assuming I have to do changes in this file more often) and passing versionUpdate value as a query string value at the end of the path. 08********08 #] 15Feb2023 problem: uploads of files aren't updated on webPage!!??

Put your HTML content before insertion of b.js.

And whatever content you want afterwards.

b.js: document.write('\ \

Add your HTML code here

\ \

Notice however, that you have to escape LF's with a '\', just like\ demonstrated in this code listing.\

\ \ '); The reason for me against using jQuery is that jQuery.js is ~90kb in size, and I want to keep the amount of data to load as small as possible. In order to get the properly escaped JavaScript file without much work, you can use the following sed command: sed 's/\\/\\\\/g;s/^.*$/&\\/g;s/'\''/\\'\''/g' b.html > escapedB.html Or just use the following handy bash script published as a Gist on Github, that automates all necessary work, converting b.html to b.js: https://gist.github.com/Tafkadasoh/334881e18cbb7fc2a5c033bfa03f6ee6 Credits to Greg Minshall for the improved sed command that also escapes back slashes and single quotes, which my original sed command did not consider. shareimprove this answer edited Jan 15 at 6:36 answered Mar 6 '13 at 14:40 Tafkadasoh ************ #] 22Sep2018 meaning of html tags :   , ,

Keep elements together If you want to put space between two elements, but the browser should not break up these two parts in separate lines then replace the ordinary space with a no-break space. For example, you want to write this These are the results : You would want to keep the ":" attached to the line and not let the browser render it on a separate line when there's no free space on the line. Without a no-break space it could show up like this: These are the results : Replace the space before the semicolon with   and the ":" will stick to the preceding word, so it will always look like this : These are the results : 2. Create multiple spaces The other use of this character is where you want to show multiple spaces in a text. Because normal spaces are collapsed to only one by the browser, no-break spaces are needed here: Source These spaces will collapse, but these &   are &   shown. Result These spaces will collapse, but these are shown.

The element is the inline equivalent to the block-level
element. It is used to select inline content for purely stylistic purposes. Text in tags can be styled with CSS or used with JavaScript. +-----+ https://www.html.am/tags/html-strong-tag.cfm The HTML tag represents strong importance, seriousness, or urgency of its contents. Here's an explanation: Importance: Use the tag in headings, captions, or paragraphs to distinguish the part that really matters from other parts. Seriousness: The tag can be used to mark up a warning or caution notice. Urgency: It can be used to denote contents that the user needs to see sooner than other parts of the document. The tag should not be confused with the tag, which is used for emphasis (as opposed to importance, seriousness, or urgency). It should not be confused with the tag either, which is used to markup text as bold without conveying any extra importance. The basic tag is written like this with the important/serious/urgent text nested between the opening and closing tags. You can nest tags to indicate stronger importance. You can use Cascading Style Sheets to make nested tags appear stronger. +-----+
