Top link bar tab not highlighted when subsite beneath subsite active

Scenario: All sites in a site collection share the same top link bar for consistent global navigation.
Site A (top-level)
    Site A1 (2nd level)
        Site A1a (3rd level)
    Site A2 (2nd level)
    etc.
Problem:  When site A1 is active, tab "A1" is highlighted.  When site A1a is active, no tabs are highlighted.  And the bread crumbs do not include site "A1."  So the user has no context to where they are in the site taxonomy.
In MOSS 2007 the behavior is different.  Tab "A1" is highlighted when site A1 or any of its subsites is active.  So when site A1a is active, tab "A1" is highlighted and the user knows where they are.  This is good.
Question: How can I make SharePoint 2010 highlight the top link bar tabs in a similar manner to MOSS 2007?

I activated the "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" site collection feature, still it didn't work for me.
I have Custom Top navigation bar in my project.
Eg :   AAA   BBB   CCC   DDD
When i am into CCC site , if i create sites under this at three levels say. : 
CCC > CC1 > CC2 > CC3 > CC4
The top navigation bar does not get highlighted when i am into CC4 site.
Actuly the top naviagtion bar should look like this :
Eg :   AAA   BBB   CCC   DDD
But it does not get highlighted and it shows normal like this . Eg :  
AAA   BBB   CCC   DDD
Please suggest some solution for the same. Why Navigation does not work at this level.
Regards ,

  • SharePoint 2013 Foundation Top Link Bar wrong selected page when no navigation match

    Hello,
    I've got the following issue.
    At one of my clients we are working on a public web site based on SharePoint 2013 Foundation (yes I know... Foundation...). I've branded the Top Nav Bar and ran into a problem.
    When I navigate to one of the pages in the Top Link Bar the selected item is marked as "Selected", great! But when I navigate to one of the pages that is not added in the Top Link Bar the first item is marked as "Selected", not so great.
    For example when I navigate to /Pages/About.aspx the first item /Pages/Home.aspx is selected.
    Can you help me out?

    Hi,
    Could you give me more detailed information about this issue?
    Could you give me a Screenshot about this issue?
    In addition, there is an articles about customizing the top link bar, please have a look at:

  • Tab in Top Level Navigation is not highlighted when clicked on

    Hi guys,
    We have 1 problem in EP 6.0:
    I create 1 iview(testiview), and attached to the role(testrole), assigned to 1 user, then login with that user. In top level navigation, i am able to see the role(testrole) in top level navigation, but after i clicked, the tab for this role is not highlighted, but the content of iview is displayed,
    Any one knows what happened?
    Thanks!
    Guo Feng

    Hi Guo
    You have created one role and added one iView under it.
    now can u tell which one you made as entry point.
    if Role is the entry point are you getting the iView link in the DTN ?
    If you made iView as entry point and then you r getting the content in content area and the iView link in the top.
    i think the second one happens...
    Check the role and iView properties .
    Make the Role as entry point..
    Cheers

  • Open Link in New Window Option Not Working in Top Link Bar

    Hello,
    We have a 'Popular Links' section in our Top Link Bar for our intranet site that contains a list of frequently used links. Since most of these links navigate to sites outside of SharePoint, we would like these to open in a new tab or window when clicked. 
    I've enabled the 'Open Link in New Window' option under Site Navigation Settings for each link, however when a user clicks the links that have had this option enabled the content is still loaded in the current tab.
    Is this the correct set of steps to enable this content, or is there a better way to accomplish this that actually works?
    **SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure has been activated.

    You can try deactivating Minimal Download Strategy feature present under "Manage Site Features"....

  • Strange behavior in the top link bar and open in a new tab

    Hello,
    I am having a strange behavior in the top link bar. Every element in the menu has the "open in a new tab"-option checked and is working fine but is not working at all in a sub site which inherit the menu. 
    I have look at the code thinking that the menu in the sub site did't get the target="_blank" but is there.
    Anyone who knows what can be happening?
    Thanks!!!!

  • System.ArgumentException when trying to edit the top link bar

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when editing the top link bar in SharePoint 2013.
    As the error message is very common, I recommend to check the ULS log for detailed error message for further research.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
    Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

  • How to stop users not in any group and users from other groups accessing sites they have no permission to access on top link bar?

    Hello Community
        Using SharePoint 2010 Server and UI, a web application
    was created with subsites.
        The subsites have unique permissions and Owner, Member
    and Visitor groups.
        The problem is however even if a user does not exist
    in a group that user can access the top link bar/navigation
    bar and its sub sites.
        Also any user in any group can access any top link bar/navigation bar and its subsites.
        How do you enforce that if a user is not in a group
    they are denied access the top link bar/navigation bar and its
    subsites?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    If you are using the built in SharePoint navigation links, SharePoint will automatically hide links to sites that a given user doesn't have access to.
    The problem is, it sounds to me like you have a fixed top link bar that lists the content and if a user doesn't have access, the link still shows up.
    You may want to look at how the top link bar was encapsulated in the design of the page.  If it isn't wrapped in the permissions provider code, that could be the problem.
    I trust that answers your question...
    Thanks

  • Firefox 4: the drop down menus in the top menu bar will not appear in Google pages.

    ''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/808729''
    Firefox 4: the drop down menus in the top menu bar will not appear in Google pages. For example, when I click "more" it is like clicking a dead link. Nothing happens. When I click the "tools" icon or my email address to log out, same thing.

    Could you do the following please.
    In the location bar at the top, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter
    In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following setting:
    '''browser.urlbar.maxRichResults'''
    If the figure on the right is a single number, or a minus figure i.e. '''-1''', right click it, choose '''Modify''', remove the current setting and replace it with the figure "'''12'''".
    Then close Firefox and restart it again.
    I went to Google Maps, but as you can see from the screenshot, directions appear to be working.

    Have a look at the user status table TSOCM_STAT_PROP and see if there are any unwanted PROCESS_TYPE <> STSMA combinations.

  • New Folder tabs not highlighted

    I added new tabs with new controls to the Sales Order document using the SDK 6.5
    On the item click of the folder item I set the PaneLevel of the form. The folder tab gets highlighted and the pane is visible.
    But this works only for the first two new folders.
    The following folder tabs are NOT highlighted, but the PaneLevel is set correctly and the pane is displayed correctly too.
    Why are the other folder tabs not highlighted?
    I tried to use the Select method but it crashed SBO.
    I would appreciate any ideas/help.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Have a look to a post named "SDK - UI - Problem with more than 9 folders", I think it talks about the same problem.
