[thelist] SSI question

i have a different method, myself...

i have my navigation stored in an include and all pages call it... the 
navigation determines the path of the page, and depending on 
where the page is and what the file name is, builds the appropriate 
state for the buttons and such...

for example:

ScriptName = Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")

gets me the name of the current page as 'ScriptName', which i can 
now pull apart:

<% IF instr(1,ScriptName,"contact/",1) > 0 THEN %>
html goes here...
etc...

i use a similar method to build a human-readable bread-crumb trail 
based on the current directory... but it works best when you use 
understandable names as folder names, and has the added benefit 
of making the URL in the address bar make sense as well...
