Hi Mark,

Check out the article below.
If you set standards compliance loads of new things to get right. But that's
what standards mode is about.

With the logo on the contact page you have set:
#logo { margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
IE6 in standards mode explicitly requires a unit type identifier, it used to
assume pixels, no longer case in IE6 standards.
Possibly this is the problem with it not showing correctly.

If you want to check out the new enhancements available in Internet Explorer
6 in Standards mode check this article on the microsoft website, study it
carefully. Many potential caveats to the unwary in standards mode.
