I always shudder when I see that word "simple."
A computer program is like a professional ice-skater. You see the skater
doing all these neat swirls, jumps, and flips, and they make it look so....
simple. But now, you ARE an ice skater. And you want to know how to do the
"simple" things you've seen the pros do. Well, if it's so simple, why can't
you figure out how to do it? ;-)
In general with computers and programs, the simpler something is to use, the
harder and more complex it is to build. In your case, the most logical
solution would be to build a server-side app that dynamically builds your
menu from a database. Change the data in the database, and it is
automatically reflected in your page. And of course, once you build your
nice GUI, it WILL be simple to use. But somehow you've got to build it. That
means ASP, ASP.Net, or some inferior server-side programming technology.
