Sorry Michael!
I found that going to templates/base and then opening _header.html solves the problem when adding the html coding there:
__flush_header__
<body <bx_injection:injection_body /> >
"Your HTML Code Here"
<bx_injection:injection_header />
<div id="notification_window" class="notifi_window"></div>
<div id="FloatDesc" style="position:absolute;display:none;z-index:100;"></div>
This will align the drop down menu top the very top. By then applying CSS you can style the menu as much as you want. However, adding a Jquery based drop down menu tends to not work for some reason.
I hope this helps you as well or anyone!
