Q: Does this product work to make drop down menu in Frontpage 2003?
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,
BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in your program
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:

That's all.
To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application(included into the trial package):

Q: I cannot find the parameter in menu example file "data.js" for umlaute a, u. I want it to set manually.
A: You can save your data file in UTF-8 in Windows version of DeluxeTuner v3.5.
You should turn on "Tools/Use utf8 encode" property.
In that case your data file will be saved in UTF-8 encode.
Enter these symbols and save your data file.
If you don't want to use UTF-8 encode on your page you should turn off
"Tools/Use utf8 encode" property, save your data file and manually
change your letters in any text editor.
You can also replace your letters with special sets, for example
ä - Small a, acute accent - a
ü - Small c, cedilla - u
var menuItems = [
["ä....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["ü....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: How does an item on the dhtml navigation menus connect to pages?
Does it take the page's name automatically?
If I add a page, will the menu item show the new page?
If I remove a page, will the menu remove the item?
A: > how does an item on the menu connect to pages?
You should create menu items in the Deluxe Tuner and specify link and target for each item, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Upcoming Trainings","http://domain.org/pub/upcoming-trainings", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Conferences & Workshops","upcoming-workshops.html", "", "", "", "_blank", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Continuing Ed","ceu.html", "", "", "", "main", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];

> If I remove a page, will the menu remove the item?
No, you should do it manually in Deluxe Tuner (or any text editor).
