FireWorks pop-up menu importing in Dreamweaver

I've created a navigationbar with pop-up menu's using FireWorks MX. I want to put it on op of every page of my site. The site is kind of large (800+ pages). So, if I make a change to the navigationbar I have to update 800+ pages.
Putting the navigationbar in a frame won't work, because of the pop-up menu's. I tried to export the file as a Dreamweaver Library file, but then the pop-up menu's don't work.
Does someone know an easy and quick way to do this?
Thanks!

Not quite sure how to get around updateing 800+ pages by hand. Unless you created them with a template. I would recomend from here on out, create a template in DW. Then every page you create create from the template. Then next time this happens, you can just update the template and it should filter out to all pages.

Server side includes are probably your best route to go.  My latest project is done in ColdFusion and I use cfinclude to do exactly what you are describing.  Of course, this is all template based for each new page.  The issue is that you will need to still modify all of your pages to use the include.  Once you have completed that nasty task, you can then modify the single file to make changes to the site.
