I mean as we go inside the category the previous pages should appear as link on side of the view page

I think if you clean up your code you will get more responses.
Also what you are requesting is?
OPEN A THEN OPEN 1 THEN OPEN A1
Previous list (A then 1 then A1) should appear so the person is able to go back one catergory correct?

yes what you said is right.....

Im trying to figure out how you are retrieving your variables?
Through sent data or a database?
Is any of your information ever stored on a database - link wise?
I can try figure out a solution if I know what your working with.
