(first post so probably a big n00b question:)

i'm using 1.2.2 and have got it mostly looking how i want it etc. and the DB side of things is all fine in both localhost and online.
I created a new style based on original but renaming it to something else and changed all default references i could find.
I then installed ee into my server space and overwrote with my custom files that i had made changes to. Somehow everything I have done has been ignored and a default layout (original?) is being displayed and my background image/style is being ignored. This is displayed even though i have deleted all indexstyles and styles except my own.
e.g there is no table for the news item in my modified code but the default greyish news table is to the right of the screen with "latest news:' written
e.g I've changed the css to make header text white, which has worked

I've checked paths and permissions and maintained exact file structure between online and offline servers.

I want to get this working before i upgrade to 1.5 as it's a friends site and he needs it running asap and i know 1.2.2 is adequate for his needs right now. Am i doing something stupid? Is there a hidden default somewhere?
This is so frustrating as it's looking great on my machine/borked online and i don't know why:)

Thnx in advance

Check in misc settings that indexstyle matches (id = filename), and global style setting is correct.

thnx for quick reply pekka

I've checked these and they are correct. The confusing thing is that it works on my localhost but not online. There is no difference between the customised code. In an attempt to solve this i have deleted all styles apart from my custom style. But the online version index page seems to consist of half my modified code and half elements e.g the 'latest news' that are deleted from the relevant .php. In other words i don't know where it's getting the instructions from:(

hmm in fact it's seriously garbled. I just wondered if maybe there are more default styles hidden anywhere that i maight have missed.
cheers
