FrontPage Design View + CSS Woes

[SugarMagnolia]

I'm in the process of creating a FrontPage template for use on an intranet. The web page uses an unordered list styled with CSS to create a horizontal drop down menu for navigation.

When viewing the page using Design View in FrontPage, you can only see/edit the top level menu items. This poses a problem because the person who will be using the template to create and manage the intranet site knows nothing about HTML and sub-level menu items will differ from page to page.

Is there any way to toggle page styling on/off in design view easily? Or perhaps a way to create a custom web component similar to the linkbar component?

Thanks so much for taking a look at this, any help would be greatly appreciated!

FrontPage is what, 5 years past the end of life at this point? I think it had pretty minimal understanding of CSS.

I just checked in Expressions Web, and you can edit an multi-level unordered list in the design view.

I'll agree that there are much better editors out there, but migrating to one of them just isn't a choice.

Thanks anyway for the reply. Maybe in the future I'll be able to sell these guys on upgrading things.

Well, I came up with a pretty ugly solution to my problem by loading a separate CSS file for the menu via javascript, therefore showing only the big, ugly unstyled list in design view.

Probably not the best way of going about it but it definitely works.
