[Typo3] MENU_LAYERS fixed layer position

I don't know which manual we are talking about but there is a table with all
properties of HMENU here:
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/doc_core_tsref/HMENU-1/

the last two entries are - guess what - "wrap" and "stdWrap"

But this is what you did: You wrapped the GMENU with <td>-Tags.
If you want to wrap the item you will have to put the wrap into the items
setup.

NO {
  wrap = <td>|</td>
}

But anyway this is not necessary, since you can stick with your <div>-Tags
and use proper CSS instead.
You say: "all of the Graphical items will be put into a DIV layer and that
means, that menu become Vertical"
I say: Wrong! - You can do almost anything with a DIV using CSS. Just give
it a classname and do what you want.

Ever heard of CSS properties like display:block, display:inline, float:left,
float:right and clear:both?

You can even make <UL>-lists look horizontal just by making the <LI>-tags
"display:inline" ...
Have a look at this working example (no layer-menu though but a horizontal
list menu when you click on the first of the vertical menu items)
