I am just in the procss of attempting a similar breadcrumb trail for the navigation system of one of the sites I am working on. the big difference in mine that i see is that there is no strict folder system and there are too many navs that share sub files to make a proper file system in that sense. do you know if the methods supplied in this thread would be usefue in my case?
