Problem of previewing for Win 7

So I'm using Win 7. I did the same thing as the instructor did in the video and had the code exactly the same. However, when I highlight "blue", no preview appears as in the video. What's worse is that when I click on the preview button in the work space, color of the text showed up in my website still didn't change to blue.

Btw, when I tried to copy and paste the code onto notepad, save it as html file and open in my browser, the text color actually did change into blue. Therefore I suspect that there might be some bug with the preview function of the work space. I really wish it can be checked and fixed.

Hi,

you could also try and clear your browser cache and then try again to refresh the preview page.

Looks like the preview is strangely using your cached page.

Try and let me know.

Thank you very much man! It's exactly the problem. I cleared my cache and it really worked.

Follow Nejc's advice but also make sure you press control + s to save your workspace then refresh the preview.

Good point. :)

Forgot to say that. It's a default action with me to save and then preview.
