Yes, but...
You can do it with XmlHttpRequest, or even just changing your
"location" in JavaScript.
But...
A) This doesn't really make any difference to the PHP code -- It's all
in the JS, so you should probably research in JS forums.
B) It's going to be DOG-SLOW if every menu change has to make a
round-trip to the web server and get stuff from the database, unless
it's a limited install on a LAN or other high-speed-only network.
