What is the tag used for in Yii framework CMenu?

Question

In the following codes, you see there is a tag new for the product/new route and a tag popular for the product/index route. I can't figure out what these tags are used for, and I can't see any difference in the html output even I remove them.

$this->widget('zii.widgets.CMenu', array(
    'items'=>array(
        // Important: you need to specify url as 'controller/action',
        // not just as 'controller' even if default acion is used.
        array('label'=>'Home', 'url'=>array('site/index')),
        array('label'=>'Products', 'url'=>array('product/index'), 'items'=>array(
            array('label'=>'New Arrivals', 'url'=>array('product/new', 'tag'=>'new')),
            array('label'=>'Most Popular', 'url'=>array('product/index', 'tag'=>'popular')),
        )),
        array('label'=>'Login', 'url'=>array('site/login'), 'visible'=>Yii::app()->user->isGuest),
    ),
));

Answer 1

array('product/new', 'tag'=>'new')会创建一个像index.php这样的url？r = product / new＆tag = new，这意味着在actionNew的ProductController中，$ _GET ['tag'] ='新';

Answer 2

hold on there bubba. i would NOT remove those references. if the code runs as a whole, there is a new object somewhere!!
