When to Use

Description

-

A breadcrumb trail helps the user to visualize how content has been structured and how to navigate back to previous Web pages, and may identify the current location within a series of Web pages. A breadcrumb trail either displays locations in the path the user took to reach the Web page, or it displays the location of the current Web page within the organization of the site.

-

Breadcrumb trails are implemented using links to the Web pages that have been accessed in the process of navigating to the current Web page. They are placed in the same location within each Web page in the set.

-

It can be helpful to users to separate the items in the breadcrumb trailing with a visible separator. Examples of separators include ">", "|", "/", and "→".

+

A breadcrumb trail (or 'breadcrumb navigation') helps the user to visualize how content has been structured and how to navigate back to previous web pages. Many even identify the current location in the series of web pages, commmonly as the last element in the trail and with a variation in its visual style. A breadcrumb trail either displays locations in the path the user took to reach the web page, or it displays the location of the current web page within the organization of the site.

+

Breadcrumb trails are implemented using links to the Web pages that have been accessed in the process of navigating to the current web page. They are placed in the same location within each web page in the set.

+

It can be helpful to users to separate the items in the breadcrumb trailing with a visible separator. Examples of separators include ">", "|", "/", and "→". Alternatively, one could use decorative iconography or create separators with CSS.

Examples

Photographer's portfolio

-

A photographer's portfolio Web site has been organized into different galleries and each gallery has further been divided into categories. A user who navigates through the site to a Web page containing a photo of a Gentoo penguin would see the following breadcrumb trail at the top of the Web page:

+

A photographer's portfolio website has been organized into different galleries and each gallery has further been divided into categories. A user who navigates through the website to a particular page containing a photo of a Gentoo penguin would see the following breadcrumb trail at the top of the web page:

Home / Galleries / Antarctica / Penguins / Gentoo Penguin
-

All of the text items except "Gentoo Penguin" are implemented as links. The current location, Gentoo Penguin, is included in the breadcrumb trail but it is not implemented as a link.

+

The markup for this example implements all of the text items except "Gentoo Penguin" as links. To provide semantic structure to the breadcrumb trail, the links are contained within a list element, which is nested within a nav element with an aria-label. The current location, Gentoo Penguin, is included as the last item in the breadcrumb trail but it is not implemented as a link to visually and semantically differentiate it from the previous items in the trail.

+

The aria-current attribute is specified on the last list item in the trail to programmatically identify it as the item that reprsents the current web page. The markup would be styled using CSS to display the breadcrumb trail horizontally.

+ +
<nav aria-label="Breadcrumbs"> 
+  <ul>
+    <li><a href="/">Home</a> /</li>
+    <li><a href="/galleries">Galleries</a> /</li> 
+    <li><a href="/galleries/antarctica">Antarctica</a> /</li>
+    <li><a href="/galleries/antarctica/penguins">Penguins</a> /</li>
+    <li aria-current="page">Gentoo Penguin</li>
+  </ul> 
+</nav>
+
+

Working example: Breadcrumb example

E-commerce site

The information architecture of an e-commerce Web site is categorized from general to increasingly more specific product subsections.

The information architecture of an e-commerce website is categorized from general to increasingly more specific product subsections.

You are here: Acme Company → Electronics → Computers → Laptops

The trail begins with "You are here" and ends with the current page. Items in the trail are clickable or tappable links with the exception of "You are here" and "Laptops." This example uses a right arrow symbol (→) as a separator.

The trail begins with "You are here" and ends with the current page. Items in the trail are clickable or tappable links with the exception of "You are here", which is a static heading. This example uses a right arrow symbol (→) as a separator.

In this example a h2 element, a nav element with an aria-label attribute, and an unordered list are used to provide semantics. The markup would be styled using CSS to display the breadcrumb trail horizontally.

    A Web page implements tab panel style navigation. A list of panel tabs is displayed horizontally across the page. The current content is displayed in a panel below the list of panel tabs. When the user navigates to and selects a particular panel tab the content in the panel is updated to reflect the topic of the selected tab. In addition, the background color of the selected tab is changed from the default color and a check mark icon is displayed next to the tab panel text to indicate it is the active panel. The check mark icon includes an appropriate text alternative.

    The layout for a Web page uses a frameset and frames. One of the frames is designated as the navigation frame and another frame displays the content of the Web site. When the user selects a link in the navigation frame, the information related to the link is displayed within the content frame. The text for the selected item in the navigation frame is updated with an asterisk character to indicate that it is the selected topic.

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] Add top-level index.html for dev only (not GH Pages / W3C
 site) (#4076)

- Adds extremely simple top-level `index.html`
- Updates `.eleventyignore` to allow for top-level HTML files, while
still ignoring top-level files that shouldn't be built
- Adds condition to `CustomLiquid.ts` to avoid processing pages outside
of `techniques` or `understanding`
- Adds considerations to the Eleventy config when targeting GH Pages or
w3.org, to clear any preexisting output folder and to avoid outputting
top-level `index.html`

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] Fix link to Understanding Test Rules from techniques
 pages (#4075)

This bug specifically affects the link to "Understanding Test Rules for WCAG
Success Criteria" found under Test Rules sections in techniques pages
only (understanding pages do not have this bug). The link has the wrong
base path, causing a 404 when built for GitHub Pages or the W3C site.

This PR fixes it by properly referencing `understanding` relatively from
pages under `techniques`; in the full scope of the build system, this
then ends up replaced with a fully-qualified URL when processed through
`CustomLiquid.ts`.

Example from https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Techniques/aria/ARIA4:

```

```

Example of same link built in `publication` mode from this PR:

```

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Revert #4076 (#4079)

This reverts commit e4469d7b3f25792b16238a2c8c6c45a6a12e6eda.

There was an unforeseen issue affecting the GH Pages deploy script,
which I will need to dig into and test separately. Reverting first so we
can get those deploys working for now.

Sorry for the noise!
