To fix:
<form action="/cgi-sys/entropysearch.cgi" class="search">
<p>
<!-- elements below need to be contain in block element -->
<img src="images/search.gif" alt="search" width="70" height="13">
<input type="text" name="query" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="user" value="dunmowka">
<input type="hidden" name="basehref" value="http://dunmowkarate.co.uk">
<input type="hidden" name="template" value="default">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</p>
</form>
1. No 'target' on 'form'
2. '<element />' on single tag elements for XHTML not HTML
3. IMG and INPUT elements need to be contained withing block element,
e.g., P, DIV, PRE, H# ADDRESS

Take care,
