<sas:IMenu>
This tag is used for creating a simple IMenu for use with a variety of markuplanguages (including WML,HDML, and HTML). The user can use this class to write a simple IMenuwithout having to know the markup language that is to reference the page. NOTE: If you are using the model attribute along with tag body elements, the model must be of type javax.swing.DefaultListModel or javax.swing.DefaultComboBoxModel.
