Do you mean Work Through a menu on a timer, or Switch Menus altogether?

More clarity and precision in the question leads to an increasingly perspicacious answer.

Have you tried the AdRotator in ASP.Net? It isn't a menu but it sounds like you want a rotating ad. If not, there are a ton of Jquery menu samples that can do what you want.

A basic mechanism:

Include jquery on your page
Give your menu items ids like menuItem1, menuItem2 etc.
Declare a counter varible in javascript and set it to 1.

$("#menuItem"+counter).hide()

see here

^

Now loop. You can do this using either Javascript timing event[^] to call the function, or use jquery's delay method in the function in step 3, and have it call itself.

This won't be very smooth: to improve this get the next item first, show it, and use the show mehtod's callback to hide item that has just been finished with. See http://api.jquery.com/show/[^] for help how to do this. If you use the jquery delay you should add the recursive code to the callback.
