Courses Plus Student 363 PointsRefresh isn't working
First my preview was not showing at all. In installed Firefox and saw it come up properly in the last segment. But now that I have added the new elements, nothing new is showing even when I hit the refresh button.

```html
<html>
<body>
<h1>Your code here</h1>
</body>
</html>
```backticks here to end the code block
I should have asked earlier as well: Are you using Mac OS or Windows? Ctrl + F5 is Windows only, and for Chrome on Mac, you'd have to hit Shift+Command+Backspace, or (easier method), click the Chrome menu item in the menu bar, then click "Clear Browsing Data" and select the options relevant to you.

11,940 PointsMarriBeth, it sounds to me like your browser has cached your webpage, making it so that a refresh doesn't pull data from the page, but rather from memory.
Try hitting Ctrl+F5 to force your browser to fetch the new data; this action should fix your issues and refresh your page correctly.
If that doesn't work, try to close then reopen your browser. If that doesn't work, be sure you've saved the changes you made to your HTML files.
Hope one of these works for you!

Please could you post your code for us to take a look at? Also, are you experiencing a similar issue in other browsers such as Safari or Chrome?

Courses Plus Student 10,009 PointsAlso Merribeth, make sure you are saving the console each time. My firefox was buggie, ended up using Chrome.

Courses Plus Student 363 PointsI am sure these are all good answers, and I've tried to follow the advice using Safari, then Firefox, then Chrome and hitting F5. Still not refreshing.

Courses Plus Student 363 PointsOkay--I started with Safari, then switched to Firefox, then switched to Chrome based on comments received. I then tried hitting Control F5. It does not refresh. It still has data from the earliest page. Getting frustrated now. Here is what I had so far:
