TrailScout

TrailScout
http://www.vacilando.org/index.php?x=2725
A cookie-based PHP script that displays a path of hyperlinks to previously visited pages on a website. For example "Vacilando.Org > Writing > PHP Scripts > TrailScout" (see at the author's website above). It is also known as "cookie crumb trail". None of the similar programs I've found around the Web was good enough, so I decided to write my own. The path is stored in a cookie for the duration of one session (= until you close all your browser windows). For each new visited page, the title (fetched automatically from between your tags) and the url (complete with parameters) is stored in that session variable. If user visits a page that s/he has seen before, the trail of links is reduced and that page again becomes the last one in a row. There is a variable that can be used to limit the maximum number of links to be stored (this is useful for large sites where trails tend to be too long).

PHP code that generates a DHTML Drop Down Menu
Category:
This file creates a menu structure that gives the user a clue to their location in the site structure. One of the best known usability heuristics says you should give the user feedback as to system state. Their location, in my opinion, qualifies as system state.
Category:
A1 - Menue allows the easy navigation especially for larger websites. It is free. For each directory a customizable menue is created from the TITLE tag and sorted following own rules. Files and directories may be included or excluded following own definitions.
Category:
A typical document is structured heierarchically, with a main body, sections, sub-sections, footnotes, and so on--like a "tree," with a root, some branches, and many leaves. Yet we don't read it that way on the Web; instead, we typically read documents either as one big long page with numbered subsections, or as a collection of separate web pages, each one completely erasing the other when a link is selected.
