For some reason when I go to preview the page I'm still getting a preview of the previous lesson where your name is blue

I'm still getting the previous page preview where my name is blue and can't seem to preview the work that I have done on the current lesson.

Hi Andrew,

Can you post your code please and we'll take a look? This how-to guide will explain how to do that.

Thanks

I've noticed that some browsers tend to use cached versions of the site which means that after it has downloaded all of the necessary code, it doesn't download any new code that has been updated. If you've updated the code correctly, then the answer should be as simple as clearing the cache by deleting the recent web history. This will force the browser to re-download the code and re-render all elements.

Hope that helps! :)

Try saving your work, then try previewing it

Saving index.html sometimes isn't enough to allow preview to work (i.e., recent changes aren't appearing on the rendered page). Likely a bug. To work around it, I simply closed index.html and reopened it, then selected preview.
