Preventing Caching of CSS Files

by

I’ve ran across this problem a few times and usually over come the problem on production sites by calling my css like this

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9560447/style.css?v=1" />

When you roll out an update just change the v=1 to v=2 and it will force all of your users browsers to grab the new style sheets. This will work for script files as well. If you view source on Google you will notice they use this approach as well.
