CSS Pagination
Discover how to use CSS to design a pagination that is responsive.
Simple Pagination
If your website has a lot of pages, you might want to add pagination to each one of them:
Example
.pagination {
display: inline-block;
}
.pagination a {
color: black;
float: left;
padding: 8px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
}
Active and Hoverable Pagination
With a .active class to highlight the current page, you can use the hover selector to alter the color of each page link as you move the mouse over it:
Example
.pagination a.active {
background-color: #4CAF50;
color: white;
}
.pagination a:hover:not(.active) {background-color: #ddd;}
Rounded Active and Hoverable Buttons
Add the border-radius property if you want a rounded “active” and “hover” button:
Example
.pagination a {
border-radius: 5px;
}
.pagination a.active {
border-radius: 5px;
}
Hoverable Transition Effect
To add a transition effect when the page links are hovered over, add the transition attribute to them:
Example
.pagination a {
transition: background-color .3s;
}
Bordered Pagination
To add borders to the pagination, use the border property:
Example
.pagination a {
border: 1px solid #ddd; /* Gray */
}
Rounded Borders
Advice: Give your first and last links in the pagination rounded borders.
Example
.pagination a:first-child {
border-top-left-radius: 5px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
}
.pagination a:last-child {
border-top-right-radius: 5px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
}
Space Between Links
Advice: If you would prefer not to group the page links, add the margin property:
Example
.pagination a {
margin: 0 4px; /* 0 is for top and bottom. Feel free to change it */
}
Pagination Size
Use the font-size attribute to alter the pagination’s size:
Example
.pagination a {
font-size: 22px;
}
Centered Pagination
Use text-align:center to encircle a container element (such as <div>) to center the pagination.
Example
.center {
text-align: center;
}

Example
Breadcrumbs
----Example mukava----
Another variation of pagination is so-called “breadcrumbs”:
Example
ul.breadcrumb {
padding: 8px 16px;
list-style: none;
background-color: #eee;
}
ul.breadcrumb li {display: inline;}
ul.breadcrumb li+li:before {
padding: 8px;
color: black;
content: "/\00a0";
}
