Jason,

As Peter indicated, you need to generate the menu items dynamically.
When the user clicks on the top section, your code needs to handle the
change.

Basically in your case the link should be directed back at the same
page. Look at which parameter was passed (if any - the first time there
won't be a parameter) and build the appropriate menu. Then output the
entire page again.
