Hi Everybody,

I want to incude this kind of navigation-aid on each web page that I offer.

You are Here: Home Branch-A Branch-B You Are Here


I've tried to study how others' have done this and notice that there is a class referred to (breadcrumbs was a clue for me) that does the hard work to accomplish this.

<TD CLASS=breadcrumbs><A HREF... >

Viewing the source code shows that the rest of the navigation-aid is easy, because it is written in plain HTML. Trouble with that is you can usually find yourself on a "You are Here" page from several different other pages. Yet the navigation-aid "knows" and must be writting the rest of the aid.

Still can't find where breadcrumbs is declared and described. Nor do I have any idea how the "You are Here" knows how to write the HTML code.

Am I asking too much, or could someone take the time to get me started right?

Many many thanks

Paul

You could do it manually for each page via HTML and specificy the way the user arrived at the page.

But the way you're looking to do things is using coding languages such as PHP or ASP.

I suppose, but since he said

Then I believe he is referring to a server-side code like PHP or ASP instead of client-side like Javascript.
