external file for Chrome drop down menu

[gtcway]

1) Script Title: Chrome CSS Drop Down Menu (v2.01)

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...rome/index.htm

3) Describe problem: I would like to have the drop down menu code in a single external file that I can edit, instead of having to edit it on every page. I was sure I saw a way to do it in the forums with a search for "chrome", but having spend over an hour looking again, I haven't been able to find it again.
Thanks

Part of the design of this menu is that the menu contents is regular HTML and added inline on the page, for search engine friendiness. The best way to use an external, single source to embed this content on muliple pages is via server side, such as SSI (server side includes), or in PHP, the include() function etc. Using SSI for example, you would save the BODY portion of the script in an external file:

<div class="chromestyle" id="chromemenu">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu1">Resources</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu2">News</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

<!--1st drop down menu --> 
<div id="dropmenu1" class="dropmenudiv">
<a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/">Dynamic Drive</a>
<a href="http://www.cssdrive.com">CSS Drive</a>
<a href="http://www.javascriptkit.com">JavaScript Kit</a>
</div>


<!--2nd drop down menu --> 
<div id="dropmenu2" class="dropmenudiv" style="width: 150px;">
<a href="http://www.cnn.com/">CNN</a>
<a href="http://www.msnbc.com">MSNBC</a>
<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk">BBC News</a>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
cssdropdown.startchrome("chromemenu")
</script>

and embed it via something like:

<!--#include virtual="/external.htm"-->

Thank you. I'll take a look at it.

I actually found an easier way, IMO. I'm using Dreamweaver, so I just created a Library item. I have one file that I can edit and Dreamweaver inserts it in every page
