Rails - Jul 2006 - A number (id?) is added after css/js tags like style.css?1154009736

Dears,

My Ror setup works.. but I can''t guess why

<%= stylesheet_link_tag ''style'' , :media=>
''screen''%>

is rended as

<link href="/stylesheets/style.css?1154009736"
media="screen"
rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />

What is that number.. any usage ??

Or I misconfigured something ?

Thanks

this number (unix timestamp) is added to the javascript and stylesheet
links in development mode so that your browser is forced to reload the
files it would normally have cached.

Yes, it''s the modification date of the file. It prevents browsers  
from using a cached version if your css file is changed, but as long  
as you don''t change it, the number at the end will stay the same and  
the browser will use the locally cached version.
