How To Make Reuseable HTML Navigation Menus?

Question

I\'m sure this topic comes up all the time,
But I can\'t seem to fine a concise answer.

I\'ve got a vertical menu bar that I want to reuse in webpages (>20)

Answer 1

So far one of the best solutions I have found is to model the menus after the Son of Suckerfish XHTML/CSS solution that is pretty well documented on the internet now combined with some logic on the server to render the unordered list. By using unordered lists you have a couple different options on how to output the results, but as long as the menu has some basic hierarchy you can generate it. Then for the actual page all you need to do is include a reference to the menu generating function.
