I have a situation where i needed to create a different color breadcrumb for the container. I've partially succeeded... but here is my issue

BREADCRUMB is a skin object and I have not seen it used inside of a container. Perhaps it's inheriting from skin.css and not from container.css for that reason?

in theory, it should work adding a class into the container.CSS file. However, I am unsure how DotNetNuke will react when you place the breadcrumb token inside a container. Do you have to place the breadcrumb inside the container? Or could you for instance place the breadcrumb inside a skin just above where the container will appear?

When adding two skin objects of the same type you need to use code similar to this:

This example displays two Nav Menus (note spaces added to tags so it displays in the forum):

Register code:

< % @ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="NAVMENU" src="~/Admin/Skins/Nav.ascx" % >

Token code:
< dnn:navmenu runat="server" id="dnnNAVMENU" csscontrol="NavClass" >

Register code:
< % @ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="NAVMENU2" src="~/Admin/Skins/Nav.ascx" % >

Token code:
< dnn:NAVMENU2 runat="server" id="dnnNAVMENU2" ControlOrientation="Vertical" / >
