Tech support, can you please tell me why, or why you think these two pages might have gotten so scrambled? It's happened before and I don't know how to fix it.
Thanks in advance!
these are the two pages:

Was this built in standard html mode or dynamic?
Standard will do things like that because nothing can be touching anything else.

if you upload a newer version of a page by using the 'build 'function it automatically updates the changes by deleting parts not needed but by dragging files over by ftp you can sometimes get the previous & updated parts overlapped which scrambles the page, you may get 'overwrite file' options but it can sometimes be easier to delete the page & then drag the new one in

What I did that was new was put in my own html. I've tried to re-build it over and over again, but it comes out the same. It's only these 2 pages fro some reason.

Second, I did transfer all of them over manually via ftp, which might have caused a problem, but then I went in and rebuilt them. When I preview the 2 pages, they look fine. When I upload them, they come out scrambled.

If I open these 2 pages in windows explorer, or view them in the ftp, they look all scrambled. It's like the program isn't acknowledging that anything is changing or being updated. My WE preview is fine. The WE upload is all scrambled.

To answer Dave's question, these are DHTML pages.

Is there any possiblity that this could be the work of extraterrestrial intervention?
Thanks everyone!

My thought is you mention adding 'your own HTML' to the site. If you added your own code to a text box that would present a big problem. You need to add HTML only via the custom script assistant. There is a lot of info on this forum, in help and the online FAQ section for WebEasy.

The other thing to check is just remove that code from the site, possibly whomever provided the code gave you bad code with missing closing tags, etc, etc. At least this may help you narrow down the source of the problem. Good luck!
