How do you deal with long breadcrumbs?
Don't clutter the page with too many elements
Sure, it won't be good to overload the page, especially at the secondary navigation level. In the case of the too long breadcrumb trail, some of them in the middle can be hidden behind the ellipsis. But never hide the first and the last element so as no to break the logic.
How does a breadcrumb trail work?
A breadcrumb trail displays the page a user is currently on and its relation to the pages they visited before it, or the hierarchy of higher level parent pages above the current page. Breadcrumb navigation provides the user with ability to quickly navigate back to their starting point or earlier pages from their visit.
How do I make breadcrumbs accessible?
Developers should use the nav element “Breadcrumb" to make navigation easier for people who use screen readers and other assistive technologies. Using an ordered list helps to ensure that the breadcrumbs are interpretable for a variety of technologies, including those that don't fully support ARIA.
What is the function of a breadcrumb trail in a website?
Breadcrumbs are a secondary navigation aid that helps users easily understand the relation between their location on a page (like a product page) and higher level pages (a category page, for instance).
