    I would like to add a drop down menu to the top bar of the wordpress admin area, beside where it says “Howdy, xxxxxxx”. There will be 7 choices that I will add manually, and I want to run some Javascript on selection.

    Firstly, where would I go about adding such code, and secondly, how would I create the drop down?

    I added the following code in my admin-header.php:

    <?php

do_action('in_admin_header');

$locationlinks = array();

// Generate user profile and info links.
$locationlinks[5] = 'Change Location';

$locationlinks[8] = '<a href="https://google.ca">google1</a>';

$locationlinks[15] = '<a href="https://google.ca">google2</a>';

$locationlinks = apply_filters( 'admin_user_info_links', $locationlinks, $current_user );
ksort( $locationlinks );

// Trim whitespace and pipes from links, then convert to list items.
$locationlinks = array_map( 'trim', $locationlinks, array_fill( 0, count( $locationlinks ), " |\n\t" ) );

$locationlinks_howdy = array_shift( $locationlinks );

$locationlinks_no_js = implode( ' | ', $locationlinks );
$locationlinks_js = '<li>' . implode( '</li><li>', $locationlinks ) . '</li>';

?>

<div id="wphead-info">
<div id="user_info">
	<p class="hide-if-js"><?php echo "$locationlinks_howdy | $locationlinks_no_js"; ?></p>

	<div class="hide-if-no-js">
		<p><?php echo $locationlinks_howdy; ?></p>
		<div id="user_info_arrow"></div>
		<div id="user_info_links_wrap"><div id="user_info_links">
			<ul><?php echo $locationlinks_js; ?></ul>
		</div></div>
	</div>
</div>
</div>

    Which gives me a title, but I can’t click to expand it like the user one.
