you can create such navigational menu using simple CSS:

\Preamble{xhtml}
\Css{body{max-width:40em;margin:0 auto;}}
\Css{.tableofcontents{float:left;width:10em;margin-left:-12em;position:fixed;}}
\Css{@media (max-width:64em){
   .tableofcontents{float:none;width:100\%;margin-left:0;position:normal;}}}
\begin{document}
\let\contentsname\empty
\EndPreamble

This will make centered document with sidepanel, which will collapse
when the browser windows is too small.

With scripting, you can create something more interesting see:
