400 PointsWorkspace Preview not working correctly
I tried my code in CodePen and it looks exactly like it's supposed to however the preview from workspaces doesn't change. What would the reason for that be?

Courses Plus Student 2,756 PointsI had the same problem with my workspace preview not updating. I was using Safari Version 7.0.6 (9537.78.2). All I did was cleared my history. I cleared my entire history but I am guessing you only need to clear one or more of the following: cookies, cache, and temp files. After I cleared the items I previously mentioned, I clicked the workspace preview button again to open a fresh preview screen and presto change-o! It works. Date: (9:6:14 2:32pm)

400 PointsNope. Treehouse got back to me and said it must be an error in my code but I hadn't changed the link between my html file and my css file so I'm still not sure.

What a pain in the butt, though. Took me a while to realize it was a cached copy and that my JS was fine.
