home page has two extra graphics I cant remove :(
I re-edited my pages to remove shadows from the text so they will appear as text not graphics, and when I did these two .png files are showing up on my web page. www.rkimarketing.com .
Every time I upload also, it is uploading these two files even thow the design does not have them.
I went into my folders and eliminated the 3.png and the 4.png and still it is uploading these. I went onto my host site and went into the folders and eliminated these two graphics and still this.
Any ideas? My preview window and html view look like they should, I am very frustrated.
Thank you for your help yet again.

When the Xtreme program previews the website a folder is created to hold the preview filles which is used ( i believe) to export as website. This folder retains these, even when resaving and even old redundant files.
You may have to find these folders and delete them before exporting as a website. Then upload the new files and directories.

THanks for the response, I am using XWD, I have deleted the graphics from the folders and am attempting to reupload now, cross your fingers and hope this fixes it.
Still dont know why this is doing this.
DIDNT fix this, for some reason it continues to upload these even though it is NOT in my design UUUUGH!

What FTP program are you using? You may have to also delete the files directories on your server, if you are using Xara's ftp module I find it not reliable as is, I use Filezila to transfer to my server. I delete the old files/directories on the server first then upload the new ones, as sometimes the old files don't get replaced properly.

P.S Filesila is free.

Yes you have got yourself in a pickle somewhere.
Those two images are still exported and used because they are still in your .web file and squashed as shown by the pixel sizes in the exported html.
Check for hidden layers.
<img class="xr_ap" src="index_htm_files/3.png" alt="" style="left: 55px; top: 80px; width: 23px; height: 24px;"/>
<img class="xr_ap" src="index_htm_files/4.png" alt="" style="left: 44px; top: 214px; width: 143px; height: 143px;"/>
Note too that the flash file (bottom left) is not showing at the right size now.
It should be width="320" height="240" yet you have is set width="271" height="209". Because of this the text is looking gnarly :(
You can attached your .web file here for us to check.

I am giving this a shot, see if this works, I will download filezilla and use that from now on.
As for those layers I am not sure how to check that. When I open the html file it looks just fine.
Cross your fingers.
As for the upload in XWD do the designers know about this?
I LOVE FORUMS! To all of you again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Ruffino using another FTP program to transfer files will not remove the images from your .web file. If you do not tranfer the images you will simply create another problem of missing images being called up by the html code and placeholders appearing where they should be on the page.
Please locate the images within your .web and remove them or post up your file so someone can find them for you.

Where do I find my .web file to attach it?

I spoke too soon, I am re uploading it again hoping for better results.

Aside from the flash size mentioned earlier, the page looks fine.
Just use Filezilla to remove the site entirely from your host, re-export from Web Designer to a folder on your desktop (so it's easy to find) then upload the lot with FileZilla.
When done, review with your browser and if some graphics are out of place, refresh (shift+F5).
Also worth checking with another browser (I have all browser installed so I can check that my sites look fine well in them all)
Re: home page has two extra graphics I cant remove :(
I think I have it. I forgot to delete the .html files the first time, this time I reloaded everything and it seems to be fine. Hopefully you see what I see.
THere has got to be a better way than this way.
Tell me if you see anything in that file, but all seems to be fine.
I hate stress:confused:
Thanks yet again:)

No - your first page still has the rogue graphics.
You can't have exported the site again from the same file you attached in your last post.

The methology is sound. The understanding needs work.
► Create site / export site / upload site.
If any editing of the .web file takes place
► delete previous export / re export / upload site
I normally delete the site from the server as well. It only adds a minute or two to the process for most sites, but at least I know I have all fresh files on the server.

Understand now! Fixed I hope ;)
Re: home page has two extra graphics I cant remove :(
Yay! It works :)
But the flash slideshow is still the wrong size.
I noticed you had rounded corners and a drop shadow on the placeholder for this in your .web file.
This won't work because the placeholer graphic is NOT exported, it's a *placeholder* for the code only.
If you want to add a drop shadow, create a new object of the same size, give it the drop shadow and place it behind the placeholder for the flash file.
