JS Menu Idea

I have this goal-dream-change I want to add (if possible) to my lithium dx-z3 menu system, but not sure how to go about it correctly. I think this is more than a one step process, but let me give the layout and see if anyone has an easy or fitting solution.

1. The Main Menu is controlled via JavaScript and HTML using A and B:

(A. JavaScript)

Spoiler:

var openSubNav = '';

function show_sub(navId)
{
next = document.getElementById(openSubNav);
if (next)
{
next.style.display = 'none';
}
else
{
next = document.getElementById('sub_nav_home');
if (next)
{
next.style.display = 'none';
}
}
next = '';

next = document.getElementById(navId);
if (next)
{
next.style.display = 'block';
}
next = '';
openSubNav = navId;
}

(B. HTML)

Spoiler:

<div class="navigation_menu">
<ul>
<li onmouseover="show_sub('sub_nav_home');"><a href="{U_PORTAL}" title="{L_PORTAL}"><span>Home</span></a></li>
</ul><div>

<div id="sub_navigation_menu">
<ul><li>
<div id="sub_nav_home" style="display: none;">
<ul>
<li><a href="" title="" class="menuanchorclass someotherclass" rel="anylinkmenu1[click]"><span>ClickDropMenuItem</span></a></li>
</ul></div></li></ul></div>

The HTML sub navigation list (when clicked) then calls the JavaScript file anylinkmenu.js. This file accesses menucontents.js which defines the clickdropmenu layout as such:

(C. MENU LAYOUT)

Spoiler:

var anylinkmenu1={divclass:'anylinkmenu', linktarget:'_self'}
anylinkmenu1.items=[
["ClickDropMenuTitle", "ClickDropMenuTitleLink"],
["- Empty -", ""],
["- Empty -", ""]
]

I want to, somehow, AUTO IMPLEMENT the forum categories and sub-forums and into this menu system instead of hand-typing/changing each one. That way, you can add a category or forum via the ACP and it will automatically add the category and sub forums to the menu system.

Is this possible? Can I use the current setup? If anyone wants to take a shot at this, help, or even slap me with any optimistic suggestions, I would appreciate it. This would be a really cool addition and I'm hoping to accomplish it. (even if it costs some $$) I can't afford a big bill, but once complete, I'll offer it for free so others can enjoy it. (with royalist approvals if needed)

still no luck on getting this accomplished. Hopefully soon, life will give me the patience and time.
