Subject: Re: cgi scripts and external css

When in doubt about browser caching you might want to add version  
parameter to the URL, ie:

      cgi.head { '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"  
href="example.css?v=' + Time.now.to_i.to_s + '">' } ... etc.

This works for external JavaScript files as well.
