Certainly. And one does not be fluent in Hebrew in order to analyze
technical problems with a page in Hebrew. Actually what matters more is the
layout direction (right to left), since among the two buttons at the bottom
of the page, it's the _left_ button that is the submit button, even though
it appears in markup _after_ the other button. And actually the page should
probably have <html dir="rtl"> instead of dir attributes scattered around

That would be a plausible hypothesis, but the original question said:
"thought it's the java command for form validation but even without it's
still not working", apparently using "java" as an odd spelling for
JavaScript. Disabling JavaScripting (or "active scripting" to use the IE
jargon) does not seem to make the button work, i.e. clicking on the button
just temporarily changes its appearance with no other visible effect.
This is somewhat odd, but perhaps the OP should first fix the 58 syntax
errors that http://validator.w3.org reports for the page. Many of them are
caused by an unclosed <p> tag (i.e. just "<p" with no matching ">", so that
the validator goes crazy when searching for the next ">"). If this does not
help - and I suspect it won't - then I guess the best strategy is to create
simpler test pages by gradually removing parts of the page until the problem
disappears. The last part removed might then be the culprit.
