How to create pagination with CSS
A website generally contains a lot of pages. We can use pagination to number them accordingly in a sequence. It will help the user to go through the web pages sequentially. The pagination can be added to a webpage with CSS.
Creating a pagination
A pagination is a number that is generally placed at the bottom of a page. There may be some previous and next buttons too with pagination. The page numbers are displayed horizontally so use display: inline-block property. The pagination contains the link of the page so use text-decoration:none to remove the default underline of the links. We can add the background-color, padding to the links. Additionally, add the :hover effect to the pagination links.
Example: Creating pagination with CSS
In this example, we have created pagination with previous and next links.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML</title>
<style>
.pagination a {
color: green;
float: left;
padding: 8px;
text-decoration: none;
transition: 0.2s;
}
.pagination a.active {
background-color: green;
color: black;
}
.pagination a:hover:not(.active) {
background-color: #cccccc;
}
</style>
</head>
