Just for interest’s sake – at work they have a tendency to call them YAH’s.   You-Are-Hear.   Sounds silly, dunnit? ;o)   Mark   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Taco Fleur Sent: Friday, 19 March 2004 6:38 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] [ot] bread crumbs   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)?   Hansel and Gretel Tell me and I will forget Show me and I will remember Teach me and I will learn   --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004 --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004
