CT_RN and RavenIce left blocks problem

The left blocks only show up correctly when someone is logged in as an admin. See pics:

EDIT:
I found that if I deactivate the Site Navigation block the other left blocks do show when not logged in as an admin. I tried downloading a fresh copy of the site navigation block from RN but it made no difference.

This issue does not occur with the fisubice theme. Or any other of the themes that come with RN2.30 (or any other themes I have).

Problems with the blocks occur on a fresh install if I try to use the site-navigation block.

Has anyone got to the bottom of this yet. I have a similar problem with RavenIce and RN2.30.01, but only seems to show up in IE6 (at work), IE7 (at home) and Firefox (at home) seems ok and I think Fisubice is ok as well. The site is

The css based themes are more sensitive to html errors then regular table based themes. It could be an unclosed div tag, an extra center tag, misplaced closing tag, poorly written javascript, etc. These types of errors usually come from older modules/blocks, among other things. Run your site through a HTML validator and try to fix the errors. You could also try going through disabling the blocks one at a time to see where the problem is.

For me, these themes work fine until I activate block-site_navigation. As I explained, the same things occur with the blocks when not logged in as an admin even if I use a freshly downloaded copy of site-navigation block. No other blocks that I know of are causing any problems. And, as noted, a fresh install right out of the box works perfect when not logged in as an admin, until I activate the only block not include in the package - block-site_navigation. I

I moved the closing tag for <select> to right before the ?> and now it all works fine. I don't know if this is going to cause problems or not as I do not know PHP. I do know it know works when not logged in as an admin. Thanks for the help.

set to IE6 to check the home page, the site only shows part of the home page when set to IE5 or 6 but seems to work ok when set to IE7 or 8.

Unfortunately I can't track down any particular block which is throwing everything out. As I don't use IE6 apart from at work, its a bit difficult to test things properly.
