In my view, Steve has shown his thinking. The breadcrumb does not represent a hierarchy, it represents a path across a hierarchy. Hence, it is juat fine that a list does not represent a hierarchy. My addition: A path is an unordered list in the sense that another path to the same end point might also be possible, depending on how the web site is configured. Leif Halvard Silli "Jens O.

What AT users, and how many? What does “appear” mean? And what were they asked? (If asked how to mark up a list, I’d also say using a list. But here we ask how to markup breadcrumbs.) -- Jens O.
