website for my company.
The site will have a JQuery accordion menubar across the top and
a sidebar menu as well.
What I would like to do, using php in order to save myself the
trouble of cluttering my
html with menu code on every single page on the site, is make it
so that when someone
clicks on a link in the menubar, the links listed in the sidebar
change according to what
was clicked. For example, if someone were to click on "About" in
the menubar, the
sidebar would display different "About"-related hyperlinks
("About Us", "Management",
"Our Staff", "Job Opportunities," etc.) and then, if the user
then selects "Products and
Services" from the top menu, the side menu would change with a
list of new links related
to that one.

This is actually fairly easy to do, once you know how to use
AJAX. The click sends a request to a PHP script that generates
the sidebar code and the ajax code on the client side puts it
there. I don't use jquery, but I am sure that jquery includes
routines to do exactly that.
