Using spry menu to create master page

Question

Dreamweaver has spry menu function which lets user creating navigation bar quickly. Suppose I have multiple pages in a web site, the navigation bar are all same. Can we borrow the concept of master page from asp.net? I mean that to create master page by using spry menu?

With pure html/css ... No you can't.

With the use of PHP, ASP, or a similar server side technology you could.

On second thought maybe you could use AJAX to load the menu in with the jQuery library.

http://api.jquery.com/load/

$('#menu').load('menu.html');

So add jQuery to your web page. Then add the script above and where currently have the Spry menu put...

<div id="menu"></div>

Put the code for the menu you just removed into a file called menu.html.
