I’ve loaded text from an external text file into a dynamic text field, and I’ve also linked it to an external style sheet. The first time I go to the page that contains the dynamic text field, everything works fine. But if I move around in my navigation and come back to my text field, the text has disappeared.

Any idea what may be causing this?
