how does it work?

There's something that I am confused about. If you make a side menu (ex. navigation menu) and you want to add more links to it, is there any way that you can just change the information on one document, as if you were using frames? Is there any scripting or programming language that could do this?

You could use PHP includes (http://www.joe2torials.com/view_tutorial.php?view=3), SSI (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/ssi.html), or most other servers-side languages to do that. (JavaScript is normally used as a client-side language -- server-side implementations are very rare.)

I see! I do not know what PHP includes or SSI are, but I will follow your links and learn more! Thanks so much!
