I'm the webmaster for a 100+ page website and I am currently trying to relaunch it. I would like a nice vertical flyout menu or vertical tree menu but my coding isnt up to scratch - I've looked at a few software packages that I could use but one of the unique factors of this menu is that it needs to appear on every page of the site and therefore update every page whenever I update a menu item. Ideally I would rather not re-upload the entire site whenever I have to change a menu item.

Can anyone advise me as the best way of doing this?? Much appreciated.

Hi Dan,

Do you want the menu to be static or dynamic? Do you want it to be javascript, dhtml or completely CSS based? What language to you use: ASP, ASP.NET, PHP?

What I do on our website is create a seperate menu file named menu.asp and we include this page on all other pages. If I want to update the menu, I only have to edit the manu page. When that page is uploaded, all other pages have the updated menu!

Kind regards, Patrick

Hi mate - I have no preference really as to how it is done but yours sounds ideal...how do I include the menu.asp page...do you use frames??

Hi Dan,

You can include another page in another by adding the code below. In case of a file called menu.asp in the same folder it would say:

<!--#include file="menu.asp"-->


Good luck. If there are any other question just ask!

Kind regards, Patrick
