                        <ContentCollection>

                            <ej:TabContent>

                                <ContentGroupCollection>

                                    <ej:ContentGroup Id="New" Text="New" Type="Button">

                                    </ej:ContentGroup>

                                </ContentGroupCollection>

                                <ContentDefaults Width="60" Height="70" Type="Button" />

                    </ej:TabGroup>

                </TabGroupCollection>

        </RibbonTabs>

    </ej:Ribbon>

<ul id="menu">
