CSS Pagination Links

Author: Dynamic Drive

Updated: Aug 30th, 07. Fixed issue in IE7 where select links appear too close together.

Inspired by the pagination interface you see at the footer of Digg.com, this is our version of a CSS pagination links bar, digg style. The links are list based for a cleaner and more semantically approach (in our opinion). The bar itself can easily be left or right aligned, by modifying the "text-align" attribute.

Demo:

« previous
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9...
15
16
next »

The CSS:

<style type="text/css">

.pagination{
padding: 2px;
}

.pagination ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: left; /*Set to "right" to right align pagination interface*/
font-size: 16px;
}

.pagination li{
list-style-type: none;
display: inline;
padding-bottom: 1px;
}

.pagination a, .pagination a:visited{
padding: 0 5px;
border: 1px solid #9aafe5;
text-decoration: none; 
color: #2e6ab1;
}

.pagination a:hover, .pagination a:active{
border: 1px solid #2b66a5;
color: #000;
background-color: #FFFF80;
}

.pagination a.currentpage{
background-color: #2e6ab1;
color: #FFF !important;
border-color: #2b66a5;
font-weight: bold;
cursor: default;
}

.pagination a.disablelink, .pagination a.disablelink:hover{
background-color: white;
cursor: default;
color: #929292;
border-color: #929292;
font-weight: normal !important;
}

.pagination a.prevnext{
font-weight: bold;
}

</style>

The HTML:

<div class="pagination">
<ul>
<li><a href="#" class="prevnext disablelink">« previous</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="currentpage">1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">3</a></li>
<li><a href="#">4</a></li>
<li><a href="#">5</a></li>
<li><a href="#">6</a></li>
<li><a href="#">7</a></li>
<li><a href="#">8</a></li>
<li><a href="#">9</a>...</li>
<li><a href="#">15</a></li>
<li><a href="#">16</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="prevnext">next »</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

Excellent tutorial, one question. The page order counts right? SO why not use <ol> (order list) instead of <ul> (unordered list?)

Does not work in IE 7.0 on change zoom level(anything other than 100%).

<li> containers zoom correctly but text/link within looses position relative to container.

Couldn't you just use ul class instead of the divs?

Posted by Anna on 03/13, 12:35 PM

Use this to centralize buttons. Add this css to your ul tag.

<ul style="display:table; margin:0 auto;">

Can the boxes be reduced in size?

I used the script but the list markers always show.

Hi
Thanks for the css. But I had a problem , that the disablelink would not show the borders and when i checked with firebug, this part of css is not fired. I ran firebug with the Digg and saw that span was used instead of Li, is this normal or am i missing anything

Cheers
