I am working on the Try It Out on pages 257-259 for the SiteMapPath.

When displaying the home page the bread crumbs duplicate the "Home" entry as follows:

[u]Home</u> | Home

When the user clicks on any link that navigates to a folder other than the site root folder the second Home entry is replaced with the node for that folder as follows for the "Reviews" folder:

[u]Home</u> | Reviews

Having Home appear twice in the bread crumbs is aesthetically displeasing. I understand why it occurs, I just don't know how to correct it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

You could create a fake root element in the sitemap file and then hide that level from controls like the breadcrumb.

You're better off posting these kind of questions in the book's forum located here: http://p2p.wrox.com/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=386

Cheers,
