There's always a more obvious culprit in situations like these - human
error.

Sharon, I searched through both pages and besides the paths used for
links, found only one difference. Funnily enough, it is in the footer
table. I believe an incorrect path for the image used as a spacer may be
what's causing the deviation. On the exact-data server, the src
attribute is "download2_files/trans.gif", but on your server, it's
"download1_files/trans.html" (Note the incorrect extension). You can
observe the effect this causes by setting the borders for the footer
table to 1 - on your server, only one cell is displayed, while on the ED
server, both are shown. Have a look at it and let us know how you get
on.

P.S.
The border on the header makes so much sense it's unbelievable they
asked to have it taken out - I'd fight on to put it back in.
