Part I: Implementing SharePoint Collaboration
In SharePoint 2007, you run into two types of breadcrumb navigation
controls (both shown in Figure 1-2):
✓ Global Navigation Breadcrumb: This breadcrumb appears in the
upper-left corner of a page. Normally, this breadcrumb contains only
one link: that of the top-level site in a site collection (including all
subsites). However, this breadcrumb does display other related links
when you create subsites that aren’t directly linked to the top-level site.
✓ Content Navigation Breadcrumb: This breadcrumb appears beneath
the Home tab in the Top Link bar above the name or description of the
current page whenever you follow links to pages on the top-level site
or pages on subsites that you add. To jump back to a page that’s on a
previous or higher level, simply click its link in the breadcrumb trail
that’s separated by > (greater than) symbols.
You can use breadcrumb controls only to retrace steps that you’ve taken in a
SharePoint site trail. This means that the last or current breadcrumb in the
trail is informational only and never carries a live link. Keep in mind that with
Web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Firefox you can also retrace your
steps in a trail from the keyboard by pressing Alt+← as many times as needed
and that you can jump directly to the top-level of a subsite by clicking the
name of its tab. You can also quickly get to the home page of the entire
SharePoint site by clicking the Home tab.
