Since I’m building the pages with LC, previewing them in RevBrowser was a no-brainer--but not worth the agony of seeing a bug persist through one dreary iteration after another until finally the coin drops and you realize you fixed it on the first try, but you’ve just been looking at the same buggy page over and over.

In both places look for a folder that's like "com.runrev.livecode" or "com.runrev.revolution", and if you delete *that* you get a refreshed page the next time the revBrowser needs to display it.

I’m trying both of these suggestions: deleting the cache file(s), and adding a dummy parameter (which Rodney also suggested).  It’s to be a mac-only program, so I’m thankful I don’t have to go through this again in Windows!
