SharePoint: Wiki Bookmarks Part 3

In Part 1 I discussed some of the issues and a possible work around for the limitations a SharePoint Wiki offers. In Part 2 I resolved the bookmark issue and added tabbed content. Although the tabs are a cool functionality it really did not fit the original requirements of just fixing the bookmark functionality lost in the SharePoint Wiki.

Fixing the bookmarks was really fairly simple to resolve for with a few lines of code. The real issue was the top navigation. How can we produce a quality looking structure that I would be proud to put my name on? Again I am drawn back to the tabs. Really I only need to figure out how to prevent the content from hiding, and keep the tabs floating at the top of the navigation for ease of use.

Since I first drafted this article in July 2010 , I have worked closely with Kerri Abraham from NothingbutSharePoint formerly known as EndUserSharePoint. She was the inspiration for me to begin this work. Even though I was able to find working solutions, I still could not meet her project requirements, which boiled down to a nested navigation. Kerri never gave up. Her and her intern, Hannah Zimbeck continued to chip away until they reached their final solution. What impressed me the most about this solution is they identified an issue related to SharePoint 2010 and came up with a solution for it. I know this will save me time when I finally upgrade.

Congrats to Kerri and Hannah for a job well done. I was happy to help and assist you.
