I've removed most of the default elements with the following:
<style type="text/css"> #s4-ribbonrow, .ms-cui-topBar2, .s4-notdlg, .s4-pr s4-ribbonrowhidetitle, .s4-notdlg noindex, #ms-cui-ribbonTopBars, #s4-titlerow, #s4-pr s4-notdlg s4-titlerowhidetitle, #s4-leftpanel-content {display:none !important;} .s4-ca{margin-left:0px !important; margin-right:0px !important;} </style>
All that I want to add is a simple button like this that takes the user back to the home page. I had something working (kind of), but the css stylesheets were not working. tried using a CEWP (my normal method) and a Page Viewer Web Part (would work, but the dimensions were too large).
just the most basic way to make a nice little button with jQuery.
Here's some more code.. just can't get it to play nicely with SP.
