Side Bar taglib ver. 1.1

    Custom JSP tag helps you implement side bar control in XP style.

For example:
 


<%@ taglib uri="taglib.tld" prefix="s" %>

<s:SideBar width="100px">
<s:button value="First" menuStyle="background-color:#00ffff" opened="true">
  <s:option><i>Option 1.1</i></s:option>
  <s:option>Option 1.2</s:option>
</s:button>

<s:button value="Second" menuStyle="background-color:#ffffff">
  <s:option>Option 2.1</s:option>
  <s:option>Option 2.2</s:option>
</s:button>

<s:button value="Disabled" disabled="true"/>

<s:button value="Last" title="last button" menuStyle="background-color:#ccffff">
  <s:option style="text-align:center">
   <img src="HomeOn.gif"><br><a href="http://www.servletsuite.com" target="_blank">Coldbeans</a>
  </s:option>
  <s:option style="text-align:center"><br>Option 3.2</s:option>
