A: Now on your website you have the following code:
["Home","C:\Documents and Settings\Josh\Desktop\Josh\Alsek Website\home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","C:/Documents and Settings/Josh/Desktop/Josh/Alsek Website/Pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
...
On your website you're using paths to the pages situated on a localdisk. It is not right.
You can try to write
["Home","pages/home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],

Q: When using javascript tabbed menu, where do I place the text content related to the selected tab, (the text presented on the rest of the screen under the tab)? And who do I connect a specfic text to a certain tab?
A: See, for each item you should assign the ID property of the contentDIV (see data file with your menu parameters). You should set var tabMode=0;
["Style Name","contentName", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Description","contentDescription", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Variations","contentVariations", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Empty","", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", ],
And on your html page you should create DIV's with such ID. You canset background image for these DIV's in styles.
<div id="contentName" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden; background-image: url('img/back.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat-y;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
<br><br><br>
