    Menu structure in Sharepoint 2003

    I have a problem to realized the following menu structure (the left navigation) in a Sharepoint 2003:

    Home
      |
       ------- direct child of HOME
            |
             -------child of “direct child of HOME”

    The first two areas are correctly shown in the menu. But when a user click of the “direct child of HOME” the complete site is reloaded and the “child of “direct child of HOME”” is now the root menu item…

    child of “direct child of HOME”
      |
       ------- CONTENT1
            |
             -------child of CONTENT1

    How I can realized a functionality that the “direct child of HOME” and “child of “direct child of HOME”” are shown in the menu?

    Regards

    Looks like you want to use the navigation inheritance, this article will shed a little more light and hopefully point you in the right direction: http://weblogs.asp.net/soever/archive/2006/05/31/SharePoint-2007-navigation-dissected-_1320_-part-1.aspx
    I often use a custom navigation provider and a sitemap.xml file to keep the navigation consistent across the site, this does have a maintenance overhead of keeping the map up-to-date though, so not good for volatile sites.

    Oops you might want to ignore the above, failed to see the 2003 part of the post (going blind in my old age ;) )
