Use Javascript to insert html

Hi, I want to use javascript to insert my constantly updated navbar into all my pages without laboriously updating each page with the new navbar. I have chosen to use javascript as using php/ssi means moving to .shtml from .html thus losing my page rank etc.
The question is this: Will googlebot crawl the links in the navbar (it will be in html, just using javascript to insert it), and secondly, can anyone explain how to do it? I am a bit of a novice with javascript!

I do not believe search engines bots, including Googlebot, render HTML pages. They depend on all the information being available as text inside the file.
So no, if you use Javascript to generate links, Googlebot will likely not see them.
