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?

I found these ways to hide the Home Tab, w/jQuery

1. Goto Site Settings > Look and Feel > Title and Discription
In the Title Section just give "Space"

2. with jQuery $(document).ready(function() {
$("a.static:first").hide();
});

Step 1

Add a custom class to "TopNavigationMenuV4" on your master page

It can be anything, just add it to the CSSClass tag. Mine looks like this, with top-navigation-bar being my custom class:

CssClass="s4-tn top-navigation-bar"/>


Step 2

Add custom CSS to remove the first 'a' tag after the first 'li' tag

"div.top-navigation-bar ul.root > li > a {
display: none !important;
}"

The key for the removal was to specifically target the first li and first a. If you don't do this, you will have no nav bar. You need to put !important on it too because by default it will be overridden.

SharePoint 2010 Base CSS Classes

This will be the first of many SharePoint 2010 posts. I will be focusing on a few of the main CSS classes used for SharePoint 2010 Public Beta. As the product becomes more final there might be some changes to the class names but I will be sure to create a new post if that happens. This will be quite a lengthy but it should be helpful. The default CSS given below are just highlights of the full CSS attributes for that class. I will be using a basic team site as my base for the screenshots. Here is a basic structure of the main areas that I will cover.

SharePoint 2010 Content Query for Blog Posts

I hope this post will help many of you feel comfortable with using the Content Query Web Part. In this post I will walk you through the process of creating a content query web part and configuring it to show custom field types. I will also give details on how to use XSLT to stylize and format the data being pulled. I will be using the following scenario as an example. Say that you had a site collection with a top level publishing site. This publishing site would display a the most recent blog posts from all blog sites within its own site collection. To solve this problem we will use a Content Query Web Part and a customized ItemStyle.xsl using XSLT. Please note that the “SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure” needs to be enabled at the site collection to display the content query web part. Step 1: Add a Content Query Web Part to Page Navigate to the site that you want the blog posts to show up and click on edit page. Under Editing Tools in the Ribbon, Click on ...

SharePoint 2013 Responsive Table Columns

I have been wanting to write this one for a while now. It is really amazing how UX is really finding is way into everything that we use and interact with. From Custom applications both mobile and on a desktop to document management or large data visualizations. There is always room for better usability and new concepts. SharePoint lists and library functionality really has not changed much for the past 10 years... I remember back in 2003 when I saw the same table/grid based views of documents and list items that exists in SharePoint 2013. But now we can look at them in a whole new way! In this video blog you will see how to create a responsive CSS table so that when the browser size is reduced it will hide specific columns. However hiding data is not always the right thing to do. What if a user needed those columns to filter on or to use for comparison to another document? Well that is where the custom jQuery Column chooser comes in. It allows you to see what columns are displ...
