JavaScript runs on the client's side. Why not use Server Side Includes
(SSI)? You can also use Perl script to add the menu offline.
I have some shell scripts that will apply the changes to a menu recursively.
I use it all the time for very many purposes including embedment of RSS
feeds in pages: http://www.schestowitz.com/Software/Search_and_Replace/

Try to avoid JavaScript. Cross(platform)-compatibility would not be an
issue, but browser compatibility would. There is also a performance
penalty.
