Since the site already is dependent upon javascript, and if SSI, CGI,
PHP, or other server-side solutions are not possible to achieve the
desired effects, one could use a javascript file for the menu which is
loaded dynamically when each page is accessed. Hence, change one file
and all the menus for all html files are changed. It's what I use to
manage 203 html files on my site.
Yes, yes, all the javascript arguments come into play. However, the OP
said the site has a limited audience (as does mine). Life (and the
Internet) is about compromises. This one can work if you understand the
trade-offs and know your audience. To each his own, FYI.
