Dynamic breadcrumbs in APEX

Recently I had to implement a sort of dynamic breadcrumbs for one of our client. As usual there were two master tables while there was only one detail page.

The idea that I came up with is:

1. Add this into your detail page header:

<script>

$(function() {

// Document is ready

var nLink = '<a href="f?p=118:&A2_PARENT_PAGE.:&SESSION.::NO:::">&A2_PARENT_PAGE_NAME.</a>';

//ADD breadcrumb text

$( "div.uBreadcrumbs ul li a").html(nLink);

});

</script>

2. Create two application level parameters: PAR_PAGE_NAME & PAR_PAGE_ID

3. Master pages need to submit these two values

This should do the trick.
