How do you script a menu for all the pages?
I have 50 pages on my site. If I changed, add, or delete one links to the menu, I have to do it to all my web pages.
Is there a way I can code the menus so that if I make some changes, I only touch one file instead of 50 pages?
Can it be done on CSS or Javascripts?
Please help!

can be done with javascript (include a .js file) but prefered method is with server side (ASP, PHP etc) because if a person has disabled javascript (and some serach engines) will be stuck with a blank page with no navigation

Dependent on your server simply use includes. That way you just change the include to fit...
PHP example:
<?phpinclude(\"filename.php\")
?>
ASP Example 1:
<?php<!-- #include virtual=\"/includes/header.asp\" -->
(tells ASP where the file is located relative to the root web directory)
?>
ASP example 2:
<?php<!-- #include file=\"../includes/header.asp\" -->
(tells ASP where the file is relative to its current directory)
?>
Coldfusion:
<?php<cfinclude template=\"yourfilename.cfm\">
?>

You can also do it with SSI (server side includes)
<!--#include file="yourfilename.(php,asp,cfm,txt,txt,etc)" -->'With SSI, you might have to make the pages named .shtml depending on the server configuration.
