    You would probably do better asking on an HTML newsgroup, though.

    Cookies have nothing to do with HTML, they're part of the HTTP protocol between the client and server.

    That is true, but I thought that people in HTML related groups
    would have a better idea how to do what the OP wants.

    In the case of HTML pull-down menus, it is possible to copy the
    HTML, edit it to add new items, and run it. It will then make the
    appropriate requests to the servers. Servers should sanity check
    requests.

    There is a Java rule that applets are only allowed to make
    TCP connections to the server that they were downloaded
    from. I don't know if that applies to Javascript. However, that
    restriction is handled by the browser, so the user can, theoretically,
    change it.

    Otherwise, the question regards interaction between HTTP
    and Javascript, which I don't know about, and isn't usually a
    topic here.
