Breadcrumbs?

[Jon102]

I'm trying to implement a breadcrumbs trail through my site and am using the
code detailed below. This works fine but I have a couple of questions:

Is it possible to to get the script to look for another file in a directory
other than the index (like the only file in there for instance). If so how?

Also is it possible to skip a directory for example: I have a folder called
pages with other folders called section1 and section2 etc inside this pages
folder. I don't want the breadcrumbs to display a link to the pages folder
because there is nothing in it other than more folders, is it possible to omit
this link form the breadcrumbs trail. I hope this makes sense.

Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers.


function breadcrumbs(){
sURL = new String;
bits = new Object;
var x = 0;
var stop = 0;
var output = "<A HREF=\"/\">Home</A> | ";

sURL = location.href;
sURL = sURL.slice(8,sURL.length);
chunkStart = sURL.indexOf("/");
sURL = sURL.slice(chunkStart+1,sURL.length)

while(!stop){
chunkStart = sURL.indexOf("/");
if (chunkStart != -1){
bits[x] = sURL.slice(0,chunkStart)
sURL = sURL.slice(chunkStart+1,sURL.length);
}else{
stop = 1;
}
x++;
}

for(var i in bits){
output += "<A HREF=\"";
for(y=1;y<x-i;y++){
output += "../";
}
output += bits + "/\">" + bits + "</A> | ";
}
document.write(output + document.title);
}
