Who came up with the
name "Breadcrumbs", and is it really being used as it was intended when the
person thought of the word "Breadcrumb" to describe some
functionality?
To me breadcrumbs is
more like creating an array and upon each request pre-pend the requested
page to the array, i.e. just like the "Back" button, it keeps a history of
where you have been, not what your location is within the system. I like to show
the location to the user, its definitely user-friendly, but I am hesitant to
call it "Breadcrumbs" for the reason mentioned above.. I do use both in my
system but call the "History/Back" functionality Breadcrumbs, and what everyone
else calls Breadcrumbs I call "Location".
Can anyone shed some
light on this (yet another idiotic subject)?
