menu element
If you don't know what an element is or how you must use it, I recommend you read the "HTML tags and attributes" tutorial that you can find in the HTML tutorials section.

Description
The menu
element represents a toolbar that consists of a list of commands represented by an unordered list of items (li
elements). This element is simply a semantic alternative to the ul
element used to represent an unordered list of commands.
Examples
In the following example, we'll insert a toolbar menu that's pretending to be the menu bar in a text editor. The commands listed in this menu will lead to no action, but the example will still be sufficient to depict the functionality of the menu
element. As stated before, each item in the menu is represented by a list item (li
element) containing a button
.
<menu>
<li><button onclick="new()">New...</button></li>
<li><button onclick="open()">Open...</button></li>
<li><button onclick="save()">Save</button></li>
<li><button onclick="saveas()">Save as...</button></li>
</menu>
