Breadcrumbs

donderdag 28 augustus 2003

“In general, breadcrumbs serve two purposes:

  1. they provide information to the user as to where they are located within the site, and
  2. they offer shortcut links for users to "jump" to previous categories in the sequence without using the Back key, other navigation bars, or the search engine.

Breadcrumb paths give location information and links in a backward linear manner.”
