Subflows. Inputs and outputs not matching between machines

General

Possibly a browser caching issue rather than node-RED.

Yes, and shame on me for not realising this . . .

No, I'll take that back, because:

This line in particular:
msg1 = {payload: '<font color = \"red\"><i class="fa fa-bullseye fa-2x"></i></font>', host: host, topic:device + "/Off-line",device_ID:device, background:"brown"};

Ok, that is the final version.

This is a few of its earlier attempts:

msg1 = {payload: '<font color = \"red\"><i class="fa fa-bullseye fa-2x"></i>,</font>', (etc)

msg1 = {payload: '<font color = \"red\"><i class="fa fa-bullseye fa-2x"></i>,</font>>', (etc)

msg1 = {payload: '<font color = \"red\"><i class="fa fa-bullseye fa-2x"></i></font>>', (etc)

Each of the lines when I deployed the node/flow I saw changes on the screen.

So when I finally got it right, why would it then suddenly cache the output unlike what it had been doing before?

Kind of rhetorical.
But it just seems there is/was something else at play there as well.

Just touching base on this.

I am slowly going through my flows and editing the required stuff.

Here is an example from a button:
<font color = \"white\"> <i class="material-icons md-48">calendar_today</i></font>

All I had to do was add the two \ around the font color = "white"

Weirdly (or maybe better: UNKNOWN TO ME) the font colour is BLUE.

So, as is I see this:

And when I make it this:
<font color = "white"> <i class="material-icons md-48">calendar_today</i></font>

I see this:

Ok. I give up.
