Loren is right. CSS layout allows for a lot of options here. The right side won't necessarily drop off first, if a "liquid layout" is used specifying widths in percentages. Here's an example of liquid layout, if you want one: http://tinyurl.com/4p8nwl
Resize the window however you like, and the contents will flex so you can adjust it to suit your own preferences. This menu question is something I've had to ponder a lot, so I'll try not to ramble on about it although (God help me) I could. Browsers will parse HTML top-to-bottom, left-to-right, so one advantage of a right-hand menu is that in virtually all cases it will be read immediately after the main content -- assuming the ubiquitous 3-column layout with header and footer. In sites that have a "skip-navigation" link that allows users to jump over inaccessible dropdown or flyout menus, a secondary navigation in the right column can become the primary navigation for some people. It's especially convenient for people using screen readers, because they will be delivered these navigation options immediately after reading the main content. That sets them up to go wherever they want to go next. This is a plus for their usability without subtracting usability for most of us. But as always, a lot depends on how, where and why you apply all this thinking to the actual structure and the final implementation. The considerations I've mentioned may be completely irrelevant to your purposes, but I thought they were worth mentioning. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
