Is it appropriate to use the breadcrumb as the H1 element?
I'm thinking out aloud here: not sure why, but using a list for
breadcrumbs doesn't quite sit right with me, despite it being a type of
navigation device. I think it is due to list structures replacing the
<dir> and <menu> elements - and the notion that the site hierarchy
represented as links is distinctly different from a navigation menu.
Anyone else have thoughts on this?
Based on that idea wouldn't it make sense to do something like:
<ul>
<li>Main Site Parent</li>
<ul>
<li>Section Parent</li>
<ul>
<li>Document Parent</li>
<ul>
<li>Current Document</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
Provided your head doesn't explode nesting the lists it gives you a nice
hierarchical structure for the list that looks great with no styles. You
could then style the child <li> elements to have the less than symbols
as the list bullet?
Any thoughts?
