AnswersInterview for mid-level java developer:
- biggied88 March 04, 2010
problem-solving skills question:
You have a page with a main menu and then submenus. depending on which menu button you press different set of submenus is shown. when the user presses on a submenu button they are sent to that page by a link. You want to setup a breadcrumb in the URL to show where the user has been - pressing the main menu, then the submenu the link for the submenu should display in the URL(example. page1/page2/?link=_...).
Issue: link keeps changing -
The user clicks the menu, the submenu is shown, then they click on a submenu, then they go back to the main menu, then click on the same submenu as before a different link is seen. but it should be the same link since it is the same menu to submenu combination.
how do you solve this issue?
** this was a "feel-out" question. I later found this out it wasn't meant to be a question i was suppose to be able to answer correctly but a question to test an individual's problem solving when on a diffuclt problem| Report Duplicate | Flag | PURGE
