>From Georg:
"I'm asking because after 2 years of studies on the subject, I still
haven't found anything useful in IE6' "standard" mode, but I may have
missed something."

My first experience with putting IE6 into standards mode involved a
simple table-based layout. I had an image followed by a header
(<td><img src="logo"><h1>Page Title</h1></td>). Everything lined up
fine in FF, etc, but IE6 kept putting a gap between the image and text.
It looked almost like the 3px jog bug, but since I wasn't using boxes,
floats and the like that wasn't it.

Turns out I had a malformed doctype (putting IE6 into quirks). Fixing
the doctype and putting IE6 into Standards mode fixed the problem. If I
recall correctly (it's been almost a year since I built the site) the
gap only appeared in IE6, not 5.5, which made it really confusing.

Hope that helps Georg. (If you want more detail, email me and I'll try
to replicate it at work on Monday.)
