Feedback is appreciated. You may find some inelegant code since I’m no web developer but a C and assembler guy.

– Includes the bugfix by Christophe Beyls.
– trailing slash bug fixed, e.g. “www.mydomain/gallery/” works

I like this it’s nice and simple – thank you. Might I suggest that you remove repeating id’s so the html will validate and also the you mark the active link with an active class so it can be styled

Cheers, Lee

The issues should have been closed with version 0.2.
I´ve no inclination to support PHP4, though.

Finally here´s the update to 0.3, thanks Christophe. Couldn´t make it sooner since I was in hospital most of the time. I didn´t test it thoroughly, but it seems to work fine.
<br />
Have fun!
