Daniel Woods’ Weetbicks articles aren’t very regular, but they are always a treat. They are always useful and brilliant in a “why didn’t I think of that” sort of way. In this article, he tackles breadcrumb navigation menus. Sure, they have been done before. But he shares a technique by Greig Jackson, using a FileMaker layout object that I hadn’t considered: the tab control. And it works extremely well. Intrigued? So was I.
Another fun thing about posts from Digital Fusion is that because they are down under, they publish articles in the future! Read this article that they published tomorrow…
