MOSS: Web Part Pages – Where is my Quick Launch Bar?

When you create a new Web Part Page, you will notice that it by default has no Quick Launch bar.

To put the quick launch bar back in, it is as simple as opening up SharePoint Designer and deleting three lines of code:

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId=”PlaceHolderPageImage” runat=”server”></asp:Content>
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId=”PlaceHolderLeftNavBar” runat=”server”></asp:Content>
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId=”PlaceHolderNavSpacer” runat=”server”></asp:Content>

Simply remove those three lines and save the page. You now have your quick launch bar back.
