My best answer, but it won't help you much, is to stay away from Frontpage, as it is limited and will make you frustrated. The moving text, is called a marquee, and holds the tags. Maybe worst case scenario, you can have the part that you want to be moving, and put it in marquee tags. Expandable menu's on buttons.. can be done with CSS. Do you want something like a folded out menu? www.code.ae

As Michael Hendrickx said FrontPage is not a good editor. It will put things in the code to ensure that the page will not render on anything but IE. GoLive is not much better as you will also have cross browser compatibility problems, just not the same problems as FrontPage. Getting HTML to render properly on a wide variety of browsers is like trying to herd cats. They all have their own agenda and it is not the same as any other. I would recommend using an HTML editor, like HTML-Kit and learning how to hand code HTML. It really isn't that difficult once you get past the basics and HTML-Kit has templates to get you started with the basic framework. HTML-Kit is a free download. Separate the layout from the presentation using CSS and you will be able to make site wide changes in one place as opposed to going through every page looking for formatting parameters. Go to W3C HTML Tutorial[^] if you would like to get started learning HTML. HTML looks daunting at first but it is easy once you get used to it. Then you can move on to javascript and a server side scripting language to make dynamic pages. There are a lot of examples on the web so it is easy to get examples of working code.
