Fianally success!! Two other possible reasons were given to me and
either they worked
or my computer finally decided to 'do the right thing'.
First was to clear all history (cache, temp files etc) but to also set the home page feature to " about.blank ".
Second that the DNs may take a few days to reload the page if it was cached, something I didn't have control over.
Now, I can do some further tweeking and then pray it doesn't take the rest of the week to catch up with itself.
Thanks for the help and suggestions (and the image proof!!!!)
cheers
