I have a javascript file `harSympCode.js` that I am trying to make changes to. It is used in 5 aspx pages - .NET 4.0 & VS2010 - and needs to remain consistent for all 5.

In the js file there is a function `startstop()` which triggers a floating clock to count. It is called in the onload event of the body tag. It works just fine. There is another function (call it `function1()`) which is supposed to load some values to a form. It is almost identical to a second one (call it `function2()`) in the file except the second one does a `form.submit()` when it is done. I am attempting to modify `function1()` to also submit the form when done BUT no matter what I do, I can not get the system (VS2010 localhost) to recognize the 2 lines of code I added. Since they are working just fine in `function2()` and I don't see any error codes or warnings when I rebuild the website, I can only guess that the changes are being ignored.

What I have tried:

1. Removed the `<script>` tag from the aspx pages: Result - `startstop()`, `function1()` and `function2()` are not found.
2. Added the `<script>` tag back in but removed the script file from the solution/project directory structure: Result - everything runs as if the file was still there.
3. Deleted sln and suo files and reopened the website while at the same time trying options 1 and 2: Results - same as 1 and 2.

I have looked through my entire directory structure and renamed and/or deleted every version of the js file I could find, to no avail.

I have looked for anything and everything related to precompiling a website (NOT application) and attempted to make changes to a supposed "Precompile" directory but a) could not find the directory and b) all changes I made were ignored and/or reset the next time I went and looked.

Has Anybody seen this and how did you fix it?
