Latest version of VSD.

www.NutriGrow.net

In Internet Explorer, site is fune, In Fire Fox or using library and scholl computers to verify, all sorts of IMG-xxx.jpg refernces (buttons, shapes) not appearing. In addtion, in source codes, the jpg references in Fire Fox are not the same as IE? Fire Fox also requires several refresh to get pages to mostly download correctly.

Example: www.nutrigrow.net/page6.html

Heading: Soil Saver- For....... is suppose to have a blue oval background shape behind it, like all pages. Does not show.

The partial word SUPER-BOOST shows up next to logo?

Example: www.nutrigrow.net/page13.html

Same heading missing blue oval background

Home button (IMG_127.jpg) not showing up?

I have another site: www.SpectacularChef.com that is even more disastrous.

www.SpectacularChef.com/page4.htlm

Could there be issues with the the fact that the ISP offered Windows as one of the servers, which I picked?

Have you tried viewing the sites with different Internet connections or only the school's? The first link looks pretty much the same to me in IE7 & FF 2.0.0.14.
Screencap of blue oval in Firefox:

Both browsers are pulling info from the same html file, so there won't be any difference in references. If Refreshing is required to get a page to load properly, I'd sooner question the ISP used in surfing or the web hosting service. :|

Checked with ISP. They say that Coffee Cup does not provide cross browser capability. They are primarily designed for IE.

I re-designed site reducing the width back to 740. That has solved wrapping issues. However, every time I upload changes, it takes several refresh to get the site to appear correctly. Somehow, there are issues recognizing the correct IMG_XXX.jpg file. As a result, a button may have a completely different look?

Since most or all images used in the site share the same IMGxxx format, sometimes an image is saved as the same name that was previously used. When this happens, sometimes the browser can open the old files if they're still stored in the browser's cache (which explains why either the wrong image would load, or refreshing fixes the problem). I wouldn't worry about it as most other people will either be viewing the fresh files or have their cache cleared. It's usually only apparent to us being the web designers, since we're constantly reloading the same pages to see the changes just made.
