For me, I'm talking about nagivation links at the top, that get longer as you go deeper into various sections of the website, and which you can use to trace your way back up the "tree".
To quote Andy, "I'd like for the breadcrumbs to allow the user to be able to navigate back to each section between the site home page and where they are currently located within the site. For example, if the breadcrumb on my page looks like this: Porsche NA > Cars > Coupes > 911 (Assuming I'm on the "911" page) then I would like for my user to be able to click on "Coupes" and go to the Coupes page, or on "Cars" and go up to Cars, and so on." I'm thinking of a history trail, that shows where I've been (and can use to get back to where I was), rather than forward-looking links that I drill down with. Does this answer your question, Adam? --Judd -----Original Message----- From: Adam Hardy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 2:24 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Breadcrumbs Are you guys talking about breadcrumb 'trail' as in showing history, or do you mean drilling down into a tree of subsections and subsubsections?
