Getting the tabbed drop-downs on a team site in MOSS 2007

The tabs on any portal is a standard feature today of any portal.
The Team sites also provide this feature...as with the Publishing sites, but you may need to configure the site to see this working.

  1. Create a Blank Team Site (say "Home Site").
  2. Create another sub-site under the "Home Site". Click Site Settings -> Create -> Select "Sites and Workspaces" under Web Pages.
  3. Provide a Title and URL (say "SubSite A").
  4. Select "Yes" in [Use the top link bar from the parent site?] under "Navigation Inheritance".
  5. Click Create.
  6. The "SubSite A" may not appear on the top link bar, depending your settings.
  7. Now click on the "Home Site" on the top link bar.
  8. Click Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Navigation.
  9. Select the checkbox "Show subsites".
  10. Click OK.

There you are !!!

You should now be able to see the "SubSite A" along with the "Home Site" on the Top link bar.

Happy Navigating !

But one more sec...we are not yet done.

Try to do the same by creating a sub site "Subsite B" within the "Subsite A",

you would find that the new subsite appears as a drop down option on the "Subsite A".

Thats the whole story.
