// set up drop downs anywhere in the body of the page. I think the bottom of the page is better..

		//==================================================================================================
		// create a set of dropdowns
		//==================================================================================================
		// the first param should always be down, as it is here
		//
		// The second and third param are the top and left offset positions of the menus from their actuators
		// respectively. To make a menu appear a little to the left and bottom of an actuator, you could use
		// something like -5, 5
		//
		// The last parameter can be .topLeft, .bottomLeft, .topRight, or .bottomRight to inidicate the corner
		// of the actuator from which to measure the offset positions above. Here we are saying we want the 
		// menu to appear directly below the bottom left corner of the actuator
		//==================================================================================================
		var ms = new mtDropDownSet(mtDropDown.direction.down, 0, 0, mtDropDown.reference.bottomLeft);

		//==================================================================================================
		// create a dropdown menu
		//==================================================================================================
		// the first parameter should be the HTML element which will act actuator for the menu
		//==================================================================================================
		// add a sub-menu
		//==================================================================================================
		// to add a sub menu to an existing menu object, call it's addMenu method and pass it the item from
		// the parent menu which should act as it's actuator. To add a submenu to the fourth item of a menu
		// called "theMenu", you would do theMenu.addMenu(theMenu.items[3])
		//==================================================================================================
		// submenu example
		//var subMenu1 = menu1.addMenu(menu1.items[1]);
		//subMenu1.addItem("<b>&raquo;</b> sublink", "#");
		//subMenu1.addItem("<b>&raquo;</b> sublink", "#");
		
		// menu1 : Makelaardij
		var menu1 = ms.addMenu(document.getElementById("menu1"));
