Q: I used Deluxe Menu and generated a beautiful drop down navigation menu for our school web page. however, I am using MS FrontPage and apparently it is blocking the content. Whenever I bring it into the program all I get is a text drop down navigation menu. What am I doing or not doing?
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the drop down navigation menuinto your html page:
1. create and save .js file with your menu parameters in Deluxe Tuner
2. open the page in Frontpage
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:

You should copy all engine files and images for the drop down navigation menu in "deluxe-menu.files/" folder and paste it in the same folder with you .html files.
Engine files:
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
dmenu_search.js
That's all.
It is possible that you'll have errors in the preview but your drop down navigation menushould work fine in the browser.
Q: I can see that you can have multi menus on the same page can you have multi tabs? I did create two different tab menus and when I put them on the same page they display correctly but you cannot navigate to the required web pages.
A: You can use as many tabs on the one page as you want.
But notice that you should call dtabs.js file on each page only once.
There is no need to call it several times on the one page.
You can see such examples in the trial package:
c:\Program Files\Deluxe Menus\deluxe-tabs\tab-style-mac.html

There's a justification option for the sub-menus, but not for the top.
A: Use the following parameter to specify align for the top items:
var itemAlignTop="center";
