Preview in DW looks fine, but upload is jumbled

So I am not claiming to even be a novice at HTML, which is why I use a software that I basically point and click with (Xara), adding text, hyperlinks, images, etc.  After I am satisfied, I export the index.htm and then open the file in DW CC, make a few minor adjustments (ie; changing page title and adding a scrolling line of text).  Preview looks great.  I save it again and upload it.  I am getting to where I am going to pull my hair out.  There's no formatting at all.  No images either.  Can someone take a look in DW CC and see if you can tell me where the problem is???  PLLLLEEEAAASE!!

Your assets are not in the "test" folder which is why you're not seeing them.  Try adding 2 dots  / to the file path to point to the actual location on your server.   Repeat with other assets.

Example:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../index_htm_files/xr_main.css"/>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../index_htm_files/custom_styles.css"/>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../index_htm_files/xr_text.css"/>

If your site is properly defined in DW, you won't have these kinds of problems.

For what it's worth, I even started another design from scratched, saved it in a different location and when I upload it, still get the same results.
