- It wraps the entire breadcrumb trail in a CSS class called "topnav". You can style this however you like, or you could modify the script to change 'topnav' to any CSS class name you want.
- It names the base directory site "home". You can modify the script to change the name to something else.
- It assumes that the homepage of the site is in the root directory of the Web server. If the homepage of your site is actually in a sub-directory, you would need to seriously modify the script.
- You need to have an index.htm (or equivalent) file in each directory or the user will experience 403 errors.
- It does not work in frames.
