I am trying to write a page which has a menu in one div, and the rest of the content in other divs [no frames or tables!].<br />
<br />
The site will consist of many pages leading from the index page, and the menu will point to these other pages.<br />
<br />
In each of these other pages I would also like the menu div present, so you don't have to go back to the main page first before going to others.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this means each time the menu is updated, I have to rewrite and upload each individual page.<br />
<br />
The solution I would really like is to be able to load the menu details into the div externally. Sadly, I know little or nothing about server side scripts. Are there any other ways?<br />

It also mentions using a hidden iframe which would be supported by all DOM-compliant browsers.<!--content-->Originally posted by gil davis <br />

Bah. I would go the server side route. That javascript based version, if I read it correctly, isn't going to work if JavaScript is disabled. Even then, it's more more code than what is really needed.<br />

A good menu that does this is UDM4 (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.udm4.com/">http://www.udm4.com/</a><!-- m -->).<!--content-->
