Textures/Images following an upload...

I have been attempting to upload a version of my site chaletjungwald.com sans-homemade Flash objects in order to test the layout etc.
Every time I do so, various buttons and images appear in areas they should not be and often exchange with each other.

The clearest example of this is on the homepage where a button for "rates" has been switched with a button nearby that functions as a Facebook link.
In the 'Contact' tab (the video is just a placeholder, I have yet to record one to go there, this isn't an error), there are numerous instances of skewed images all the way down the page and for some unfathomable reason, the usual 'Links' tab has been replaced with a 'Rates' one (though it still points at the correct page).

I have attempted to clear out my server space and reupload the whole site, as well as using different methods of upload (VSD and Filezilla). It displays fine in the program and also when I simply open the HTML files in a browser.

The issues were reproduced in Internet Explorer and Safari, as well as Chrome.

Is this an issue with the program and its organisation of the necessary files?
I'm at a complete loss!

Looks fine in FX. Try refreshing your browser a few times or clearing your cache.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

This is a site I built for my work.(RSD)

Thanks for the reply!

Clearing the cache initially sorted the issue, but following some editing and a reupload I'm back to square one and no amount of deleting my history in any browser seems to have yielded results.

Sorry but would you mind checking the URL again, just so that I can figure out if it's a browser problem at my end or a more serious issue with the site?

I've attached an image to better illustrate the issue.

Andrew, it all looks fine, common problem, happens all the time.

Clear browsing and download history, cookies and cache. it should clear up.

But i can guarantee you this one will happen time and time again, and like me you will forget why :) so now i clear mine once a week for good measure.

Also your clients won't see that mess if they never find the site before it is finished , so if its a new website dont tell google etc about it till its ready and completed

I have a similar problem at www.DrSCADA.com, and since it shows up on 3 different machines, I can't buy the internet cache idea. I am in the throes of leaving XP for Windows 7, so I have one machine with WIndows 7, and my previous development machine with XP. Loading different versions of the same website to www.DrSCADA.com leaves the same kind of confused state, all kinds of buttons missing, photos not there, etc. No messages from the XP load, except that all is well, and the only error messages from the Win 7 load (same version of CoffeeCup Visual) is that some videos are missing, but since the editor does not show them on any pages, how am I supposed to find them, and delete them? The no-show in the editor I can tolerate, but the goofed up displays really do not cut it. Ideas, besides giving up and using something else? I rather like coffeecup, so I would rather not jump ship.

not sure it will matter, but letting you know that build 24 is out for quite a while now and you should probably upgrade.

The fact that i go to your site and all looks fine (except) some shifting from one page to another where you have moved things slightly fro one page to another, i would suggest every pc you are using has seen previous upload hence they all see the mess

Just a suggestion, but after upgrading to build 24, try renaming your website (ie) do a save as (I guess its IP View & Recording) to IP View & Recording July 2012

Delete everything from the server and upload the new website i bet that will clear it up.

If you then view from one pc only, every other pc will open an unseen website so you should have no changes to view, hence no mess
