    Does the breadcrumb snippet follow css commands ?

    when the menus are plain text links it’s no problem breadcrumb looks right but when there’s a background image associated with the menus, it also shows up in the breadcrumb as well, is this suppose to happen or did I miss someting ?

      It appears that the root page id=1 seems to not play nice with the rest of the styled pages, all the other pages work with the breadcrumb and so does page id=1 except that when you click on home link then back to one of the other pages, the breadcrumb gets wacked. I’m assuming because it thinks there is a background image associated with the link which there is but for the menus not for the breadcrumb.

      is there a way to tell the breadcrumb to ignore the background image associated with the menu ? I tried to set it to none in CSS but that didn’t work.

        are breadcrumb and your menu in the same div with the same id?

          no the actual menu is separate from the breadcrumb div
          they are both in two different locations they don’t share the same css

          the menu i have as a chunk with two ID div sets to make up one complete menu
          perhaps the <ul> <li> got messed up ?

          an example of how the chunk is setup
          <div id=1 top menu
          <ul><li>
          </div>
          <div id=2 bottom menu
          </div>

          perhaps the breadcrumb is made to work better with the dropmenu, i would have prefered a dropmenu over a chunk but since my text link menus are a bit complicated, I wasn’t able to make use of the dropmenu

          i have to lines of text in each link (a menu and sub text) that make up a single link with a background image
          the reason for having 2 different sets is because the first menu has a different image then the rest
          <div id="menu">
          <li>
          <a href="#" id="menu">Menu Name

          <small>Menu Sub Text</small>
          </a>
          </li>

          • You can’t overlap containers like that. If the UL is started inside of a DIV it has to be closed inside that same DIV (nested).

            <div id="div1">
              <ul>
                <li></li>
                <li></li>
              </ul>
            </div>
            <div id="div2">
            ...

              yes i’m aware of that, what i typed here was just an example sorry, should have been more correct on the tags, i have already decided to do away with the breadcrumbs, what was I thinking, who needs a breadcrumb anyway not me rolleyesl so instead I added a long title in its place to create a subheading of the page, works good
