er, maybe it's my 'listless' disposition but why would you put a
breadcrumb in a list? The usual > seperators seem ideal, and if you
disable styles it is still a breadcrumb; what is the obsession with
putting everything in a list?

Hi all,
Apologies if this has been asked on WSG before, but I was wondering
the general opinion on the most correct semantic way of coding
breadcrumb trails.
There's many webpages dealing with this:
http://www.simplebits.com/notebook/2004/02/23/sqxii_conclusion.html
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=mozclient&ie=utf-8&oe=utf
-8&q=semantic+breadcrumb
I've seen arguements for:
1. <ul> list
2. Nested <ul> list
Several lists nested (seems like a bit of a pain to me)
<ul>
<li><a href="/">Home</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="/articles/">Articles</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="/articles/file.html">Title</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
3. <ol> ordered list
I suppose if it's a list at all, it's an ordered list?
4. <dl> definition list
such as used in this page http://www.baekdal.com/example.asp
(actually this is a good example of using <dl>s for everything)
At the moment i've been just putting them in a <p class="breadcrumb">
or <div class="breadcrumb"> and putting a "/" or ">" etc between each
link. This is not perfect, i know.
So what do you think? How do you do your breadcrumbs?
