462: <p>The <code><a href="#the-menu-element" id="menu_19">menu</a></code> element is used to define context menus and
463: toolbars.</p>
464:
465: <p>For example, the following represents a toolbar with three menu

1.139 mike 491: </menu></pre>
492:
493: <p>In a supporting user agent, this might look like this:</p>

496:
497: <p>In a legacy user agent, the above would look like a bulleted list
