I'm not sure what you mean by the importance of the context. Do you mean the page contents change depending upon the path taken to reach the page? If so, you're using breadcrumbs for a purpose for which they are not intended. You need to look at your archictecture and perhaps consider a different approach. Do you have a preliminary of the site live yet that we could take a look at and see what you're trying to do, or could you perhaps synopsize a typical user session so we could understand how the navigation path (which is what I presume you mean when you say "context") is "very important?"

Subject: RE: [wdvltalk] breadcrumb problem
I was happily hard coding the breadcrumbs until I found that there were going to be several ways to reach many of the pages and in this case the context in which the user is reading the information is very important. Is there a way of determining which page the user came from? If I knew the previous page could I display the appropriate breadcrumb trail using some kind of if statement?
