I completely agree with Kevin here. Breadcrumbs should be multi-dimensional, but sitting in a list they are not. The correct way of displaying breadcrumbs would most likely be nested lists. But we probably agree that that is a waste of time and going a bit too far. Personally I don't like treating breadcrumbs as normal text simply for the reason that I don't like putting seperaters in between the links that are read out by screenreaders. That's why I will probably stick to putting breadcrumbs into lists, not because it is semantically correct, but because I find it is an easy solution. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
