Noobtip ALWAYS CLEAR you cache before trying the website if it has to be debugged

Always clear the cache before trying your javascript after debug. It will save you time and headache.

Reason behind clearing browser cache. Is javascript, and css files will be store in history. You clear cache to clear the old browser css and javascript in history so the script works with the new script.
