Hi Laura,

What is it you trying to accomplish, exactly?  I'm guessing that you 
want a nav menu in a separate file for ease of maintenance, right?  But 
it is ok (and even desirable, for SEO and navigability) for each link to 
open a new url -- right?

If so, it seems like the simplest answer would be server-side includes. 
  What kind of server (and/or what hosting company) are you using?
