How about:
<form action="redirect.cgi">
<menu type="commands">
<menu label="Select site...">
<select name="goto"
onchange="if (this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)
location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
<option value="" selected="selected"> Select site: </option>
<option value="http://www.apple.com/"> Apple </option>
<option value="http://www.mozilla.org/"> Mozilla </option>
<option value="http://www.opera.com/"> Opera </option>
</select>
<span><input type="submit" value="Go"></span>
</menu>
</menu>
</form>
The outer menu makes the toolbar, the inner menu is a drop-down button on
that toolbar. (Well, semantically it's just saying that there's a set of
commands, consisting of a nested set of commands, which allows things like
the Ribbon effect for expanding and/or contracting the UI on the fly.)
The <span></span> hides the <input> from the <menu>. The value="" hides
that <option> from the menu.
Is this too ugly?
