Remarks
The Browser control operates in two modes. In Catalog mode, it displays the list of Catalogs exposed through the Product Catalog System. In Category mode help us navigate the Category hierarchy one level at a time. It exposes the current location in the Category hierarchy as the Path property (which is used by the container page for display purposes).
The Browser control does not truncate or wrap catalog or category names. If the names are too long the control will expand to the right, which disfigures the page. The limit for the length of the names will depend on a number of factors and will need to be determined by testing.
