If your server supports PHP (ask your host):
- Place the menu code in a separate file: navbar.html
- Make a new file test.php with content: <?php include "navbar.html"; ?>
- Upload test.php to te server and open it
- If the menu is shown: rename your pages to *.php and replace the menu code
with the include string
