I have a web.sitemap file I'm using for a breadcrumb, a sitemap page (tree view control), and now I'm using it for a menu.
I have all the site pages in the sitemap xml file but I do not want all of them to appear in the menu. It makes sense that they are included in the breadcrumb and the sitemap, but we do not want every single page in the site to be in the menu.
The big issue is the "home" link - it's the top level siteMapNode in my xml file. I use the banner image as a hyperlink back to the home page, and the menu has so many sections, we do not want "home" to be in the menu itself.
How can I hide the top level link ("home") when the menu loads, so just the sites sections appear in the menu?
