Q: Can I use javascript to get the object (getElementByID). If not howdo I hide my dropdown menu on print?
A: You can add a new button to print your page and call onClick event, soyou should write:
<body ....
onClick="document.getElementById('dm0m0').style.visibility='hidden'; window.print();">
...
</body>
Or you can use the same javascript code from your menu item.
For example:
var menuItems = [
["Print", "javascript:document.getElementById('dm0m0').style.visibility='hidden';
window.print();", icon1, icon2],
];
But if you want to hide the menu when your customers push "File/Print"you should write so:
You must create two functions, for example:
function myprint()
{ document.getElementById('dm0m0').style.visibility='hidden';
window.print();
}
function myprint2()
{ document.getElementById('dm0m0').style.visibility='visible';
window.print();
}
You should add this functions into your code.
And then you must write so:
window.onbeforeprint = myprint;
window.onafterprint = myprint2;

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.
