Drop down menu question from a novice

Someone setup our church website using FrontPage. I am a FrontPage novice
and am helping with the changes. He created a drop down menu when you click
on a word. I need to edit that menu but am not sure what the name of the
file is in order to edit it. I have searched through the files several
times, clicking on each one to see if that drop down selection comes up.
Where can I look to find that menu?

Thanks!

Use Code or HTML view and search (I mean look at) the code. See if you can
find the word you are looking for and look at the code around it - this
should give you a clue.

However, if you aren't too familiar with the code, I suggest you post the
URL here, and I'd be happy to try to find where to look.
 
I got a response from the website creator that he used a program called
Xtreeme DHTML Menu Studio to create the menu. Why does it have to be so
difficult!?! I'll check the data files in HTML code view when I go back to
the church for the words on the menu. Thanks for the quick response!

Yes, it frustrates that it seems so difficult.

But, while I have seen DHTML menus (perhaps not the one you mention) there
are simple ways to do it

For example, if you want a list of links to other pages, try this:

<form action="" style="margin:0">
<select onchange="if(options[selectedIndex].value)
window.location.href=(options[selectedIndex].value)">
<option>--Select one---</option>

<option>---------------</option>
<option value="http://trevorl.mvps.org/">
Trevor's MVP Site</option>

<option>---------------</option>
<option value="http://martinsbusphotos.fotopic.net/">
Martin's Bus Site</option>

<option>---------------</option>
<option value="http://grahamsphotos.fotopic.net/">
Graham's Photo Site</option>

<option>---------------</option>
</select>
</form>

Just paste the code into your HTML page and alter the references in quotes
after value= and the text before </option>. They do not have to be external
sites. For example, you could refer to "infopage.html" where this file is on
the root folder.

Please let me know if this is the type of drop-down menu you want. I can
easily construct others - at least I hope I can.
