I have also had this happen, specially when editing, saving, then uploading the 
file to another site.  To save time reloading a file, Netscape will use the 
memory and disk cache files.  Since the old version of the html is saved in the 
cache, Netscape will simply reload that file.  I have found that clearing these 
cache files (done from the options menu), then reloading will force Netscape to 
contact the offsite computer for the most current file.

Good Luck and Happy Surfing!!
