[thelist] Moving Menu Items

[Jay Turley]

I'd suggest jQueryUI. It's a big library, but the tabs ought to
satisfy your conditions with a little bit of usability. Plus it should
degrade nicely for non-JS browsers.

And it's pretty easy to set up the base condition. The only thing is
there is no "jumps to top of stack"; instead there is "selected item
shows up as highlighted tab". Which might satisfy your boss.

The applicatable depts with be listed as a side menu with the associated document listed below.  I don't think it's a good idea - too much of a learning curve for older individuals who want to do their jobs not learn a new intranet layout.  But I don't have the deciding input.
