JS menus not working in site.

Question

hello,
A friend of mine has asked me to setup the following website
which was once hosted on another site and owned by someone else.
Webiste
here
He gave me a disc with all the files which I uploaded to his
server. However I seem to have a problem with the navigation menus
on the left hand side. When I click on one of the links I get a NOT
FOUND error although the page in question is on the server as I
have checked. Also the strange things is that last night for some
reason the links started working and I was able to get to these
pages for the first time. I dont know why as I didnt do anything
different. But then this morning the links wouldnt work again.
I cant check exactly where the nav menu thinks the pages it
links to are as its a js menu which I know nothing about. However I
uploaded the site exactly as the folder structure was on the other
server.
Can someone please point me in the right direction with this?
I need to get these menus working properly. Thanks in
advance.

> Am I looking in the wrong spot?
Yes. Look in the head section of the index page.
this kind of nonsense:
function mmLoadMenus() {
if (window.mm_menu_0903175038_0) return;
window.mm_menu_0903175038_0 = new
Menu("root",77,16,"Verdana, Arial,
Helvetica,
sans-serif",10,"#000000","#1c697a","#e1d7b8","#ffffcc","left","middle",3,0,1
000,-5,7,true,true,true,0,true,true);
mm_menu_0903175038_0.addMenuItem("Introduction","window.open('../fr_lifestyl
e.htm', '_parent');");
mm_menu_0903175038_0.addMenuItem("Location","window.open('../fr_aerial.htm',
'_parent');");
You can hand edit the paths in code view, or use the Dw
popout menu behavior
dialog box to fix them. Or do a find and replace in code of
just that index
homepage file-
find:
window.open('../
replace:
window.open('/code/
Something to watch for possibly- I'm guessing you didn't
build this site?
The links on the homepage should open framesets, the internal
pages seem to
all be in frames.
the links on the code/menu4/menu4.htm menu used IN the
framesets should be
opening specific files into a targeted frame. I think the
menu on the
homepage is a copy of the menu4 one. You may wind up opening
pages not in
the proper frameset- or possibly creating the wonderful hall
of mirrors
effect.
Or- consider getting rid of them or replacing them with a
better menu
system. And the frames also. This looks like a nice little
ten page or so
site that was made way to complicated by designing the pages
totally in
fireworks with minimal real text- then using frames and js
menus. and all of
those design choices have repercussions in the site's search
engine
listings.
