I've done that client-side before using 
http://personal.archomai.org/transMenus.php

(Dunno if the site is down just for me, or temporarily, or in general.)

Not only is it stateful (so long as cookies are working) but it's also 
expandable client-side. You'll have to create the elements for 
navigation yourself, though I could dig out my crazy recursive PT macros 
that do that.
