Hide #1 tab in Top Navigation (Home)

OOTB SharePoint will not allow you to remove the 1st tab on the main navigation through the UI. To do this you can simply use the following CSS below and add it to your custom CSS or use the CEWP page style method to just make the change just for that page.

If you look at the code, you will notice that each top navigation item has an ID.

  • zz1_TopNavigationMenun0 (Home Tab)
  • zz1_TopNavigationMenun1 (Tab #2)
  • zz1_TopNavigationMenun2 (Tab #3)
  • zz1_TopNavigationMenun... (Tab Etc)

Since the home tab is always #1 it is always given the ID of "0"

CSS Code:

#zz1_TopNavigationMenun0 {
display: none !important;
}

I have tried using this on a publishing site (SharePoint 2010) – but nothing happens. I have not been able to locate “zz1_TopNavigationMenun0”. Other ideas on how to hide the home tab when?

This will work only in a specific page, Do we have any solution for hiding a specific tab every whare.
