Screwed up code

I screwed up the code to make this page go to wide. It should be just big enough to fit the screen without the scroll bar at the bottom.

It Won't Work

Anything that requires any script to work, to include the drop down menus you are trying to add, will not function on this wiki. This is a security measure designed to keep people from making malicious pages. You're going to have to stick with a more conventional means of navigating your user pages.

Scripts out.

Aren't you using scripts when you use the style command in the wiki. So <script> and </script> will not work but <style> and </style> will in the WIKI. So if I built the menu like a template where you used perameters and then set up the peramenters to what I want done then I maybe able to do it. Tell me one thing though am I going to be able to use the class "pulldown" in the wiki. If not what do you recomend I should use.

How many ways do I have to say it won't work? <script> is not the same as <style>, not to mention, <style> needs to be put into the page header and that is not possible on the wiki. Also, you are unable to make a new style class on the wiki. If you want to use styles, it needs to be done on the element level and not the page level. For text, this is done by using <span style="css">. You might be able to do a template, but there is no way you could get drop-down functionality since that requires javascript. Just so you know, javascript also includes those little things like .onmouseover and .onload and .onclick as well as all the other similar commands that are spread throughout some sites. I'm sorry if I come a little hard, but that's the way it is. Unless I am mistaken as to your intent, what you are trying to do will not work, and currently, what can be done with templates is basic at best.
