Though we need to think about the details: do we truncate the last element? and what if the previous element was too long? not simple, eh? if you know how, please go all the way down rather just saying that this is wrong. we do know that this is "wrong" but we don't know "better". another problem is that the title is going to be duplicated, is that OK by your usability intuition, Jonathan? I've another idea, what if instead of showing the title of the leaf node, we just use '...' implying that there is more? consider: Home / Documentation / mod_perl 1.0 User Guide / ... for the URL: http://perl.apache.org/release/docs/1.0/guide/getwet.html so we do tell the user that there is more without saying it. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:stas@stason.org http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docs-dev-unsubscribe@perl.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: docs-dev-help@perl.apache.org
