No! It leaves most of the width of my 1680 by 1050 screen blank. On
the other hand, if you had succeeded in putting the prices on the
right of my screen, the ... would have been ridiculously long.

I think Eric has managed to pose the quintessential web design
problem. I don't think there is a solution, let alone a WYSIWYG editor
that can do it, but I am really curious to see some. A menu that looks
right from 800x600px to 1680x1050px is a winner. Considerable extra
credit goes to no Java script and server-side processing is cheating.

Eric, please post your "three ways".
