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.

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.

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,

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.
