So, you do read these annoying emails. Heck, I’m suprised you even receive them.
Well as long as you’re here, do you mind reading a bit further?
Thank you first of all for a script that I can mostly understand. Now having said that, I’m a bit unsure of a few snippets.
My version of breadnav.js (i.e., filenames, variables) has been cut and pasted AS IS from your lesson. I have only edited those portions that you have refered to.
8 var crumbsep = ” >> “;
// The separator does not display on webpage. What displays is: Home Recruit Training, rather than, Home >> Recruit Training
12 var rootpath = “/newpi”; // Use “/” for root of domain.
// This is OK
13 var rootname = “Home”;
// So is this
18 objurl[‘pi_training’] = ‘Recruit Training’;
//The url sub-directory (pi_training) displays variable name correctly, and as a hyperlink. However, as there is no ‘index.htm’ in that sub-directory, and clicking it results in a “HTTP Error 403” I have no need to display any directory as a link. I do need to display specified pageurls as hyperlinked variable names.
20 // Grab the page’s url and break it up into directory pieces
//So, do I need to edit the var pageurl section at all? Do I need to specify EVERY pageurl variable?
var crumbsep = ” > “;
var precrumb = “”;
var postcrumb = “”;
var sectionsep = “/”;
var rootpath = “/newpi”; // Use “/” for root of domain.
var rootname = “Home”;
var ucfirst = 1; // if set to 1, makes “directory” default to “Directory”
var objurl = new Object;
objurl[‘pi_training’] = ‘Recruit Training’;
Thanks for this bit of code. I have encountered a bug that you may know. Apparently any case difference with the folder name in the URL location makes the script malfunction. For example Actual URL: http://www.webmonkey.com/levelOne/levelTwo. Entering: http://www.webmonkey.com/levelone/leveltwo disables the script. Do you have any solutions that can ignore the case sensitive URLS?
Hi, thank you for the webmonkey article on breadcrumbs. I’ve been playin with your script and trying to make it work for me. One thing I was wondering is if it is possible to configure the script so that it doesn’t list the directory link for index.htm pages.
I am trying to set up things so that it shows the breadcrumb trail just above the page title in the page nameplate and it works great except on index pages where I end up with the page title appearing twice since the folder/section name and page title are the same.
Any suggestions on how to fix things so that it doesn’t list the derectory above for index.htm pages?

You might want to take a look at where I am testing your script and its result:
http://www.mcrdpi.usmc.mil/newpi/pi_training/about01.htm
Here are my js edits thus far:
var crumbsep = ” > “;
var precrumb = “”;
var postcrumb = “”;
var sectionsep = “/”;
var rootpath = “/newpi”; // Use “/” for root of domain.
var rootname = “Home”;
var ucfirst = 1; // if set to 1, makes “directory” default to “Directory”
var objurl = new Object;
objurl[‘pi_training’] = ‘Recruit Training’;

We emailed about this, right?

I think you’ll want to make your pageurl variable lower case. So, after this line:
var pageurl = (new String(document.location));
I’d recommend adding this line:
pageurl = pageurl.toLowerCase();
