| Menu tabs: iTab Pro QuickNavBar Type II

submenu bar can optionally trigger popup menus, which in turn
can cause ever deeper levels of popup menus to appear - just like an operating
system control bar

high-speed switching between different major sections
of a website

- Hyperlinks on the submenu bar load HTML pages into
the main tab display area

computer, blending into the browser bar colour scheme
