Include html in multiple documents

[atseros]

i have the following issue.

i am trying to include an html file(my dropdown menu) into a div in an html file.

cannot use iframe cause the dropdown wont work.

i have tried this
<?php
include("menu.html");
?>
but its not working either.

then i used this script

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#menu").load("menu.html");
});
</script>

and it works in firefox and explorer but not in chrome!!!

any ideas???
