Is there a way to "Refresh" the preview?

Sigma8 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 2

 I just bought Textastic last week in order to make some changes to a website remotely with my iPad and was immediately impressed! 


However, right now I'm trying to use it for actual web app creation, and I'm having a problem with the Preview functionality failing to recognize changes I've made to my .css files.


My example case starts with two very simple files: an index.html with a styled (class="test") "Hello World", and a stylesheet with a single dot-style (.test), which makes the font big and red.


I make these, and everything seems to work fine when I preview. However, then I change the color to yellow (in the .css) and I preview the change in the index.html file, and the font is still red.


Confused, I upload the files to my web server, and it is indeed yellow. I try making a "styles2.css" and I copy/paste the contents of styles.css into styles2. I change the stylesheet href in index.html to styles2, and I preview that. Now it's yellow! I changes it back to styles.css (remember, styles.css and styles2.css are identical--it was just a copy/paste) and things are back to red.


So, it seems as if Preview is aggressively caching files. Is there any way to force a refresh of asset files? I'm just using local storage for both index.html and styles.css, and they are in the same folder.

I would love to see ruby syntax highlighting included+ Dropbox/iDisk sync

Perhaps the ruby syntax could include such things as haml/sass highlighting too?

If possible dropping Brackets html/css/js editor into textastic would be awesome.

Automatically FTP files to the original folder from which is was downloaded

Nigel 9 years ago in iPad updated 9 years ago 1

Another of my failings is to forget I've changed destinationfolder and FTP into the wrong place on my server then spend a while trying to work out why my latest change isn't working.

PHP code completion

Alessandro Vannini 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 1
I'm a new user of Textastic (amazing app!!!), and I'm experimenting with this new software to modify some php files on my personal development server. It seems that the code completion doesn't cover ALL the PHP functions, just a number are supported. For example, the foreach function doesn't seem to be supported in php autocompletion.

I'm I wrong? Is there a way to get ALL the latest PHP release's functions for autocompletion?

Thank you! :-)

Keyboard bug

Fed 10 years ago in iPad updated 10 years ago 2

Recently I've found the keyboard doesn't appear when in portrait view. It also happens in landscape, but less frequently. This renders the app useless, unfortunately, because I love it. You have to close the app, and restart it. Quite time consuming.

Please fix.

adjust font size

Cindi Gay 13 years ago in General updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 1
Can the font size on the ipad be adjusted?  I have poor eyesight and will have to enlarge the font.  A fallback solution is to buy the iphone app and then click 2x.  What do you recommend?

Posting to the board in landscape mode on the ipad does not work well

Aloha,


Cannot post more than a couple of lines to this board on landscape mode (I am visually impaired and like the bigger keyboard).


Mahalo,

Cursor pad support on iPad mini

Jeff Chorel 12 years ago in iPad updated 12 years ago 6

Unable to access the cursor pad on the iPad mini. Nor am I able to edit the last several lines of code after the keyboard is displayed on top of them.
