    //   i.e. one of "p-cactions", "p-personal", "p-navigation", or "p-tb".

    //* url is the URL which will be called when the button is clicked.
    //   javascript: urls can be used to do more complex things.
    //
    //* name is what will appear as the name of the button.

    //* id is the id of the button; it's best to define one.  
    //   Use a prefix to make sure its unique. Optional.

    //   of the button; if you define a accesskey, mention it here. Optional.
    //
    //* key is the char you want for the accesskey. Optional.
    //
    //* after is the id of the button you want to follow this one. Optional.
