<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>
