I'm not real good at asp - I do know some basics. But assuming you are good enouh at it to do a few simple things, the first thing you would want to do is rename menuItems.js to menuItems.asp so that the server will parse asp language it finds in it. You will also have to change (on your page):

<script src="mmenu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="menuItems.js" type="text/javascript">

to:

<script src="mmenu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="menuItems.asp" type="text/javascript">

so that the page can find the new file. Once you have that, you can use tokens inside menuItems.asp to have it write out the links in various ways. Here is an example of the concept, I'm not sure if I have the asp part right or not (though I did check the basic If Then syntax):

menuItems:[ // REQUIRED!!
//[name, link, target, colspan, endrow?] - leave 'link' and 'target' blank to make a header
["Menu"], //create header
["Dynamic Drive", "<% If SomeValue = "whtever" Then Response.Write("http://www.dynamicdrive.com") Else Response.Write("javascript:void(0);") End If %>", ""],
["What's New", "http://www.dynamicdrive.com/new.htm",""],
["What's Hot", "http://www.dynamicdrive.com/hot.htm", ""],
["Message Forum", "http://w . . .

So if a server variable named SomeValue is 'whatever' it will write:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com

and if not:

javascript:void(0);

the first would be an active link, the second would be inactive.
