Abstract
Techniques are provided for navigating through a hierarchy of views while generating a bread-crumb display that continues to provide an indication of each ancestor view even when the labels for all ancestor views do not fit within the bread-crumb display. When the bread-crumb display does not have sufficient room remaining to accommodate the label of a view to which the user has navigated, the current content of the bread-crumb display contracts, like an accordion, to make room for the new label. The contracted version of the bread-crumb display continues to have an indication of all traversed levels, though the labels for some or all of the ancestor views may be partially or completely obscured. The contracted version of the bread-crumb display may be expanded, and used to navigate back up the hierarchy.
