Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widget. The <div> element creates the widget, and we call its id attribute in jQuery to initialize it.

<ul id="menu"> <li><a>menuitem1</a> <ul> <li><a>menuitem1a</a></li> <li><a>menuitem2a</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a>menuitem2</a></li> <li><a>menuitem3</a></li> </ul>

Within the <head> tags, below the references, add the following script to initialize the widget and populate it with data.
