Crumbs


Frans send me this comment regarding the code for Breadcrumbs

What's a breadcrumb, besides a small piece of bread that's left on your plate? ;)

Well apart the funny comment, to reply I will invite readers to check Scoilnet.

It's used more and more by portals sites to help navigating quickly in a structure hierarchy.

But honestly I don't really know who start using the word for UI.

  • Thanks :) Will look into it :)

  • From "Hansel & Gretel" (Grimm's Fairy Tales)





    | Hansel comforted his little sister and said


    | "Just wait, Gretel, until the moon rises, and


    | then we shall see the crumbs of bread which I


    | have strewn about, they will show us our way


    | home again."





    Like in the fairytale breadcrumbs are a way for the user to find their way back home after navigating deep into the site.
