1.1 mike 399: toolbars.<p>For example, the following represents a toolbar with three menu
400: buttons on it, each of which has a dropdown menu with a series of
401: options:<pre><menu type="toolbar">
402: <li>
403: <menu label="File">

409: </li>
410: <li>
411: <menu label="Edit">

420: <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
421: </menu>
422: </li>
1.109 mike 423: </menu></pre><p>In a supporting user agent, this might look like this:<p><img alt="A toolbar with three buttons, labeled 'File', 'Edit', and 'Help'; where if you select the 'Edit' button you get a drop-down menu with three more options, 'Copy', 'Cut', and 'Paste'." height="101" src="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/images/sample-toolbar-1.png" width="303"><p>In a legacy user agent, the above would look like a bulleted list
1.1 mike 424: with three items, the first of which has four buttons, the second of
425: which has three, and the third of which has two nested bullet points
426: with two items consisting of links.<hr><p>The following implements a similar toolbar, with a single button
427: whose values, when selected, redirect the user to Web sites.<pre><form action="redirect.cgi">
428: <menu type="toolbar">
429: <label for="goto">Go to...</label>

436: </select>
437: <span><input type="submit" value="Go"></span>
438: </menu>
439: </menu>
440: </form></pre><p>The behavior in supporting user agents is similar to the example
441: above, but here the legacy behavior consists of a single
1.97 mike 442: <code><a href="the-select-element.html#the-select-element" id="select_43">select</a></code> element with a submit button. The submit button
1.114 mike 443: doesn't appear in the toolbar, because it is not a child of the
444: <code><a href="#the-menu-element" id="menu_19">menu</a></code> element or of its <code><a href="the-li-element.html#the-li-element" id="li_17">li</a></code> children.<h5 id="context-menus"><span class="secno">4.11.4.2 </span><dfn aria-haspopup="true" role="button" tabindex="0">Context menus</dfn></h5><p>The <dfn aria-haspopup="true" id="attr-contextmenu" role="button" tabindex="0"><code>contextmenu</code></dfn>
1.1 mike 445: attribute gives the element's <a href="#context-menus" id="context-menus_0" title="context menus">context
1.117 mike 446: menu</a>. The value must be the <a href="global-attributes.html#concept-id" id="concept-id_15" title="concept-id">ID</a> of a <code><a href="#the-menu-element" id="menu_20">menu</a></code> element in the

1.122 ! mike 449: IDL attribute must <a href="common-dom-interfaces.html#reflect" id="reflect_96">reflect</a> the <code title="attr-contextmenu"><a href="#attr-contextmenu" id="contextmenu_0">contextmenu</a></code> content attribute.</p>
1.106 mike 450: <div class="example">
1.1 mike 451:

459: </menu>
460: </form></pre>
461:
462: <p>This adds two items to the control's context menu, one called
463: "Pick random name", and one called "Prefill other fields based on
