form in widget - redirect on confirmation not working

Hi,
I've set up a search form in a sidebar widget positioned in the nav. I'm trying to get it to store the search query then redirect to the domain root and do the standard wordpress search.

see http://www.powerplay-golf.com

It won't redirect, it just fills the address bar with a huge string then gets stuck. However if I place the form in the page content it redirects fine.

Its set to redirect to the site url with ?s={search} as the variable. This works when placed in a page but not when used in a widget, any ideas??

basically, I think its getting stuck in the submit stage as there are not notifications or entries being generated

please see http://www.powerplay-golf.com/test-page/ for examples

there is the form in the page content - works fine

the one in the nav - gets stuck in submission, no idea why, its referenced in a sidebar widget exactly the same way as the one in the page content wich is a sidebar sat under the <?php the_content(); ?> tag

I placed a sidebar there in the template and used the widget built into the plugin

if you click "go" you get the following in the address bar, which makes me think its getting stuck
