Denis, This is called 'Breadcrumb Navigation' and there is no easy way to do it. Keeping a list of hidden fields is one way to do it but it's not necessarily easy. You'll have to treat them as a stack and make sure you pop them correctly if the user starts jumping around your site. I've done this using a data driven menu system and 'Nested Trees' to store the menu's. This worked well because for any given page, I could trace the path back to the home page programmatically. But this was not easy. If you are interested in nested trees, check out 'SQL for Smarties' by Joe Celko. Chapter 28. Great primer and you should be able to figure it out from there.

In one shopping website I saw this : Home > Departments > Photography > Cameras & Photographic Equipment > Camera Film > Item Detail I know one way to do this is to remember every link that the visitor has clicked until he has arrived to this page by using hidden fields. Is there an easier way than that? Thanks Denis
