I have a javascript navbar dropdown programmed for my site. Can I put it as an include file so that I don't have to isert the script on every page? What is the best way to do it? Thanks!

put the code (everything except the <script> tags) in an external .js file, and then reference that on each page:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/menu_script.js"></script>

Yes, an include should work fine as long as your server supports them. I usually put the script in one file and the menu html in a separate include file. Here's a quick example of how I put them into a page:

<html>
<head>
<title>Include Example</title>

<script type="text/javascript" src="menuScript.js"></script>

</head>

<body>
<!-- #include file="menu.html" -->

</body>
</html>
