After about a month of looking for why my web page was blinking only when I used the Netbeans Chrome Connector, I discovered that if I turned off "reload browser on save", from Project/Properties/Browser\Netbeans connector, the web pages would behave just like they do under Chrome without the connector, Firefox, and IE. I think this flag should only work if the user really saves something in Netbeans. I had thought that it would cause a cache clear between debugging runs not a complete reload of the current page every few microseconds. I believe that my original thought would be helpful to developers but cannot imagine why someone would want their screen to blink at them when their code was not causing it. Thank you Ann Maybury
It should trigger reload of if you save some files in IDE. Please note that e.g. in PHP project if you have some log file inside PHP project, writing to the log file from PHP code can cause this reload as well (PHP project supports "ignored folders", everything in ignored folders will not cause reload). If the browser reload behaves in different way, please provide some more details to reproduce, ideally sample project. Thank you.
I had this problem when I created Symfony HTML project in NetBeans. I added /var folder to the ignored folders in project properties and reloading stopped.
yep, I had the exact same problem with a codeigniter 3 project, it was the logs that were causing the problem, I added the /application/logs folder to the ignored folders in project properties and things are now back to normal I hope this helps some others that are having the same problem with their projects
