Top Navigation
Hi,
I am trying to add a tab to the top navigation of my site. When i try and add a heading in the "Navigation Editing and Sorting" section, nothing happens. Even if I put a check in the box for 'show subsites' and/or 'show pages'. Any ideas why?
Thanks!

Hi,
I had once an issue with the navigation in MOSS 2007 - but I think this part has not changed (just the way the final nav gets rendered).
It seems that one entry in your navigation is not correct and therefore you see nothing.
To solve the issue it gets a little bit complicated but lets try to explain:
I opened the page and set a breakpoint in the Javascript code in that area where the navigation content is generated. In SP2010 it is on the main page inside the function
The first part is to register the different types of navigation entries - and that was the issue the last time as one navigation entry used a type which did not exist in this list.
The types are created using this function call:
The function itself is from the script file:
/_layouts/1033/hierarchica
The navigation entries are generated using this call/object:
Now to solve the issue I had to dynamically modify the Javascript object and set the type to an existing one - then I could delete this orphaned entry through the UI and start recreating the navigation.
Hope this makes a little bit sense to you.

Found a solution online.
which SharePoint version and edition?
What is the site template / which features have been activated (like publishing)?
Do you get a Javascript error (in IE visible in the bottom left corner)?
Could you try to open this configuration page with Google Chrome and watch for any scripting errors.
