Breadcrumbs are an excellent navigation aid for websites. In one compact package, they both let me know where I am in relation to the whole site, and easily allow me to go up one or more levels to go somewhere else.
I used to use these when building web pages using Dreamweaver. It was just a matter of listing the path to get to the page from the homepage, and making each step into a link to the appropriate page. I also used a smaller font for the breadcrumbs.
I'm sure someone on the list can give the steps for doing this in RoboHelp.
Cheers,
Eileen

Subject: Breadcrumbs in RoboHelp
Hello, all,
Does anyone know how to create breadcrumbs in
RoboHelp?
I read Steve Krug's book Dont Make me Think. In a
chapter he spoke of breadcrumbs, a kind of trail the
user takes to get to wherever he/she is in a web page,
e.g., Home-->special deals-->Deal of the week.
Thanks,
Anthony Hernandez
