I have reduced my navbar template from the stock 219 lines of code to 5:
HTML Code:
<if condition="is_array($navbits)">
<strong>You are here:</strong> <a href="index.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a> <span class="breadcrumb-separator">»</span>
<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]">Forum Listings</a>
$navbits[breadcrumb]
</if>
Simplicity > Javascript, plus I
completely rewrote the navbar into the header (around 20 lines of code there) maintaining the links I wanted. Behold the power of semantic markup.
