Menu does not show up on web page

Please I need help in the worst way. I am building a new web site for our organization and we want to eventually migrate to Tigra Gold. I have used the Online menu builder to build a test menu called SHHS. Unfortunately I am unable to display the menu on our test web home page. I am using FrontPage. I have carefully followed all instructions. However I do not know what is missing. I am not an expert at using Java, but I am not a novice at programming (I use VB and VBA). All files (menu.css, menu.js, menu_items.js, menu_tpl.js) are in the same directory as my FrontPage files.

The FrontPage files are in this directory on my local hard drive.
P:SHHSWeb

Here is the content of menu_items.js file:
// menu_items.js file

var MENU_ITEMS =[
["Home", "P:SHHSWebindex.htm",
["Administration", "P:SHHSWebAdministration.htm"]
]
];

I have the following code on the FrontPage index.htm page (home page)
<link rel="stylesheet" href="menu.css">
<script language="JavaScript" src="menu.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="menu_items.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="menu_tpl.js"></script>

<script language="JavaScript">
"SHHS"(MENU_ITEMS, MENU_POS, MENU_STYLES);
</script>

</body>
</html>

As you can see, it is the last set of codes before the end of the page.
Can anyone help me to figure out what I have done wrong? Frankly, I like the way the menu looks on the Online builder, and I want to use it. I am sure that it will work, but I just don’t know how.
Thanks folks.

It doesn't matter how you name menu in online buidler the initialization procedure is still the same. You can copy correct code from index.html which you received insided the zip package generated by menu builder.

Also your paths don't look like correct HTTP addresses. For example "P:SHHSWebindex.htm" I guess that must be "Webindex.htm". If you don't know where it comes from then make sure your FrontPage don't change any files for you.
