The validator is already telling you what the problems are - poor html markup. These are just some sloppy errors in the use of html.

 

You are invalidly nesting html tags /form elements within list elements.

 

You are using an ampersand instead of the ampersand symbol - utf does not like html special chars.

 

The style "tag" belongs in the head ... an inline "embedded" style " element" (not "tag") is permitted within a proper html tag, like <p style=""> or <ul style="">

You tried to include the "<" character in your page: you should escape it as "<"

That's one.

 

Rest (mostly) seems to have the 

<form action="search.php" method="get" name="search"/>

to blame for it.

You made a self closing form (/>) so it shouldn't have any contents? Bit strange since a form without at least one type of input element and a submit button is useless.

Others errors are I think from elements you thought of sticking into that empty form.

 

Do note, even if your page validates, it's still not following the w3 guidelines.. you're using a table for the header while it's obviously not tabular data.

some obvoius ones

 

<li><input name="Submit" type="image" value="Login" src="buttons/login.jpg" align="middle" width="150" height="80" ></li> 
to 
<li><input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Login" src="buttons/login.jpg" width="150" height="80" ></li> 

<td width="143"><input name="username" type="text" class="textfield" id="login"></td>
to 
<td width="143"><input name="username" type="text" class="textfield" id="login" /></td>

 

there are others but just gop through and fix them one by one a lis generally only contains one element

 

<div>
<ul>
<li>item one</li>
<li>intem two</li>
<li>item three</li>
</ul>
</div>

 

etc and an open <ul> and closing </ul> should be between the <div> tags
