'Why my changes are not displaying to the browser?
(this a long text but it's necessary for you to understand what I'm struggling with)
I've been trying to find a solution to this but I just couldn't find any info related to this so I wonder if it has to do something with my computer.
The problem is that when I am coding working on website in neither Sublime Text or VSC, (in the beginning everything was okay, I used to refresh the page or use a local server and my changes display on the Web page) any changes I make in the .html, .css or .js files don't show on the browser.
I tried closing and re-opening the text editor and the files, (that used to work at first) but now that doesn't work anymore, any simple change made after this "forzing" happens, just doesn't display on the browser. I tried also using opera, mozilla, chrome, and the problems persist.
I sent the files once to a friend of mine, he opened the .html file and my changes were working. He resend me the code after he used it, I pasted it (the same I sent him before that wasn't working) and then magically it worked!!!!
Now every time that happens I have to have Another personas computer to open the .html file, they resend it to me, I paste it again in order to make it work. This is so annoying and frustrating. If any of you could help me with anything to fix this, I'd very much appreciate it.
So in short, until some point my changes are displayed, but after that, the page stays the same as when it "freezes" and no matter which file I modify, the page just doesn't show changes after that freezing point Thanks for your atttention

Since it doesn't work on a local computer, you can always use an online editor like Replit or CodePen (they worked quite well for me) ...

It could be that the files aren't correctly saved into your working directory. If you go into your terminal and navigate to the directory these files you're working on are in and type ls it will show all the files in this directory. If your files aren't there then you know you didn't save the files correctly into your working directory.
