Client Editable Drop down menu

Need major help quickly

[mambosandra]

Hi,
I need to find a way, which will allow me to have a client come into his website, add documents to the site and add to the drop down menu where docs are listed. It needs to be foll proof for the client and pretty easy for me as I am not an expert.
Source codes need to stay protected, he should only be able to manipulate the drop menu
Any ideas?
Thanks so much

The security thing indicates a server-side solution. PHP could facilitate this, as could other server-side scripting languages. I'm afraid file uploads and secure scripts are outside the realm of JavaScript, which is pretty strictly (with notable exceptions, but none very applicable) client-side. JS could, however, modify the drop-down, but only on the one client machine, and then, only temporarily.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com], mambosandra.

The kind of thing you're asking is best managed by a content-management system, and as Rambo Tribble has said, because Javascript is client-side, there is no reliable way of protecting the source. I also know of no existing Javascript menu system which is easily editable in the way you require.

There are loads of CMSs available. Considering your nickname, might I suggest you have a look at the excellent (and free) Mambo Server [mamboserver.com]! ;)
