Adding the Left Hand Site Navigation to Custom Pages in Windows SharePoint
Services-based Webs
The Quick Launch navigation in a default Windows SharePoint Services-based
Web site actually uses the Link Bar feature in FrontPage
2003. Of course this means you can use Link Bar properties
to customize Quick Launch. It also means you can add the
Quick Launch bar to custom pages you develop whether they
are .aspx, plain HTML, or special Web part pages.
To copy the Quick Launch Link Bar on the default page to custom
pages in your Windows SharePoint
Services-based Web site, open the pages in FrontPage 2003
and do the following:
- In Design view switch to the default page and click
in the Quick Launch on the left side of the page.
- From the Table menu, click Select and then select
Table. This step assures you copy the entire Link
Bar.
- Press the keyboard combination Crtl-C to copy,
switch to the custom page you want to place it in, and paste the
Link Bar into an empty table cell by clicking on the
cell and then pressing Crtl-V.
- Select the cell you just pasted the Link Bar into
and copy/paste the properties in the line below into the
<TD> cell tag-
id="webpartpagenavbar"
widthchange="175" height=100% class=ms-nav
- Save the page.
Tip: If the formatting of the Link bar appears
different check to see if the
ows.css style sheet is
referenced in the <Head> tag of the page. If it isn't add
this line of code just above the </Head> tag-
<link REL="stylesheet" Type="text/css" HREF="/_layouts/1033/styles/ows.css"> More information
For more information about customizing Link Bars, see Microsoft FrontPage 2003 Help.
