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:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application(included into the trial package):

Notice that in the Design mode your drop down menu may displayincorrectly. It is normal. You should view your page in browser preview.
Q: I just downloaded the beta for IE8
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/ie8/readiness/Install.htm
And it looks like the java script menu code has a lot of issues with it. Are you guys going to be supporting IE8?
A: Yes, we're planning the full support for IE8 as well as for all major browsers.
All issues will be fixed with final version of IE8.
Q: I can't figure out how to get menu items to swap images to use like a traditional image rollover. In the Dhtml menu, I can change the style background without needing images, or I can use generic images as a background, but I have situations where I need to use unique images for each state of a button.
These unique image buttons contain text and graphics, and there are different images for different states: normal, mouse over, mouse down.
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
You should use Individual Item Styles.
Please, see the example of Deluxe Menu here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/data-templates/vista-style-02-template-sample.html
You should use "itemBackImage" parameter.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=btn_greenblack.gif,btn_green.gif"],
