Hi, I am trying to make a website were the menu is loaded from an external file so when you want to update the menu it gets updated on all the web pages. Something like and iframe but the problem is that the dropdown menu of an iframe will be inside the iframe and not in the webpage. Does anybody have a solution make an iframe work with this or another method of doing this? I am not going to use PHP or SSI at all.

So if someone has suggestion (especially in basic languages like HTML and CSS) please post. Thank You
