Try reformatting the HTML as such:

<table height="50" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<form name="form1" action="modules.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="Search">
<input type="hidden" name="file" value="index">
<input type="hidden" name="op" value="modload">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="search">
<input type="hidden" name="overview" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="active_stories" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="bool" value="AND">
<input type="hidden" name="stories_cat" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="stories_topics" value="">
<tr>
<td align="right" valign="top"><img
src="themes/PNN/images/hdr-searchbutton.jpg"></td>
<td valign="top"><input class="search" NAME="q" TYPE="text" VALUE=""></td>
<td valign="top"><input type="image"
src="themes/PNN/images/hdr-gobutton.jpg" border="0"></td>
</tr>
</form>
</table>

If your table cells have one "piece" of data in them (i.e. image, textbox
etc.) try to keep the <TD><stuff></TD> format going, reducing whitespace and
the chance for formatting issues.  I moved your hidden inputs under the
<form...> so that there was less of a chance for error in the offending
table cell. The above code works perfectly for me (IE6).
