   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.
