Your web page is a complete mess.
You seem to have somehow embedded another complete page within it, and that
in turn has another complete page embedded in it, such that the net result
is a page containing multiple "<html>" and "<body>" tags. That is not
allowed and the results are sure to be unpredictable.
If that is what you really intended to do, you should be using fragments
containing "<iframe>" elements.
Use Google to find out how to do that. Better still, read up on the basics
of html coding first and don't use Publisher.

"Ah. It's Publisher 7. It must be the grouped items problem.
Or, failing that, it's something to do with pictures, but I've no idea
what."

What utter codswallop.
Is your native language Greek?

That almost made me laugh out loud. It's all Greek to you really, isn't it

OK.

While I am not totally sure of all that you are asking, make these changes
and see if they fix your issues.

Go to Edit > Select All to select everything on your page. Then go to
Arrange > Ungroup.

Go to View > Master Page. If you have anything on the Master Page, move it
to the main page of your publication. Do not use the Master Page feature in
Publisher for webs. This may not be causing a problem in IE but it does in
FireFox. It is important to get your pages to look good in FireFox and IE,
and they will look good in most browsers.

At least one of your pictures is too large. Compress it:

Do all these things and if you have any remaining problems, please post back
and tell us.

Is your native language Greek? If so, there is a regular poster named Panos
that has built his site(s) in Publisher. Perhaps he will see this and join
us and offer solutions in your native language.

Eric,

You didn't earn your Dick Tracy badge on that one; the last two letters
reveal the country of origin.

For a list of countries and their two letter code, you are welcome to visit
www.vanusa.org "Odds, Ends & Funny Things" page, fourth download item. It
refers to e-mail addresses but it is the same for urls.

I think you'll find it was David who failed to work out the poster's origin,
despite it being fairly obvious.
"It's all Greek to me" is a phrase used here in the uk anyway meaning "I
don't understand it" or "it's incomprehensible",
which is why Davids post seemed quite apposite, as he so often doesn't, and
clearly didn't in that case.

Hi Eric
ty for your answer.
as you sew the site blonge to school. I teach there
html, js, vb and c#. I desidet to make a brake with html
the kids in the 7th grade and teach them
the publisher. Thats why I rebuild the site that
was based before on html , css and js.
are you recommend to me to let the kids to build
their sites only on the pattern that are in the publisher?
Ill be very gladd to your answer

Avi,

I just looked at your site again, and it appears everything is working in
both IE7 and FF3. I did not view it in IE8. The
http://goldwater.org.il/default.files/image322.png is to the right of the
left border by ~100 pixels in both cases. The one difference I can see is
that in FF it appears your page is scaled up 125%. Zoom out one notch and
see if that fixes the issue that you are seeing. If so then if you are
running Windows XP, right click your screen > properties, to open Display
properties > Settings tab > Advanced button. What is the Display DPI set at?
Is it 96 dpi or 120 dpi? (Display properties is also available via the
control panel.)

Sorry about the incorrect guess on your nationality and your native
language. I am not multi-lingual.

I'm not quite sure what this has to do with your broken web page, but I am
horrified that you may be teaching children to make web pages with
Publisher. It really is not the tool to be using to do that. By all means
use it for desktop publishing (print), but it would be best to avoid it's
web facilities unless you simply want to illustrate a bad way of doing
things and highlight what's wrong with it. If you are also teaching html and
programming then that should surely be easy.
Have you looked at the source code of the page you are having problems with?
If you want to include fragments from other pages using Publisher or any
other tool, then you must strip out the relevant blocks alone, removing the
page header and footer parts which will simply break the page you are
pasting them into. The final page must end up with only one pair of
<html></html>, <head></head> & <body></body> tags.
Using Publisher's facility to include code fragments probably shouldn't be
recommended unless you have an understanding of html coding.
Given an understanding of html, it will probably then become clear why you
shouldn't be using Publisher.

Hi Eric
Your post was very clear and informative. ty for this.
I fixed the page as you say and now its look good
in all browsers. About the kids, this 17 kids are chosen
from more then 300 kids and they are smart, they will
know how to deal with the softwear (i hope). They lerned the HTML
code in the past 6 month Im sure that they prefer to contend with
the softwear and build a nice site then build a simple site using only HTML.
