Creates a dropdown from each ul with class
dropdown, while preserving the ID, adding a "Go" button after it that makes the user actually go there. Great for cases where you need a dropdown in the design but would like the links followed by search engines.Created with some help from this article: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1897129
