<h1>Fixed Width Menu Button</h1>

<div class="exampleIntro">
  <p>
This example demonstrates how to create a Menu Button whose text label has a 
fixed width.  The behavior of this widget is similar to an HTML  
<code>&#60;select&#62;</code> element in that its label hides any overflow 
when updated to represent the selected menu item.
</p>      
</div>
