page not showing on browser until refresh

having to refresh each time to see page in browser

[jcgg]

Hi
I am using dreamweaver MX to build a website without any trouble.
However, I have just amended one of the pages and published again. This time that page shows just the background colour and nothing more until I refresh..and this happens each time I view it 'live'! I am sure it is something small I have done but it is really frustrating me. All the other pages are fine and yet I did them the same way.
Any ideas?

thanks

Welcome aboard jcgg, I've found two common reasons for this:

Browser cache issue/text file busy: When you upload a file to a server, the server locks the file while uploading. On some connections, this can take a second or two to unlock after uploading. In a scripting environment, the server will return a 500 error if the script is requested during that time ("text file busy.") For a static page, it will return a blank page.

If the page is requested during this time, your browser may cache the blank page. So the short story: try clearing your cache and recall the page.

Coding error: One misplaced quote can case and entire page to be interpreted as an element attribute. Make sure the page code validates:

Hey! Thank you so much. I cleared the cache and all seems to be ok now. Really appreciate that. Learning in the deep end lol.
