Your example looks like you are using js for a menu - perhaps something
that gets included in all pages. Not a good idea. Why? Because a lot
of visitors (including the most important) do not have js available.
You're better off using something server side:
<!-- #include file="menu.inc' -->
This is what most of my pages look like under the hood (most ASP):
<% option explicit
thispage = "Page title"
thisurl = "thisurl.asp"
%>
<!--#include file="linkrel.asp"-->
</head>
<body>
<!--#include file="header_inc.asp"-->
<!--#include file="nav_inc.asp"-->
<div id="content">
</div>
<!--#include file="footer_inc.asp"-->
Linkrel includes the doc type declaration, the title element, external
stylesheet and js file and other elements that go in the head.
Header_inc may or may not include a static header logo, etc. Nav_inc is
navigation, and is done server side. Footer_inc includes the standard
copyright information and closes any db connections.
This "template" system makes it very easy for me to a) reuse code b)
debug VERY easily.
