In this section we will show you how to create paging instances by using CSS.

If your site has many pages, you need to use paging to navigate each page.

CSS instance

ul.pagination{
    display:inline-block;
    padding:0;
    margin:0;
}
ul.pagination li{display:inline;}
ul.pagination li a{
    color:black;
    float:left;
    padding:8px 16px;
    text-decoration:none;
}

8.18.2. Click and mouse over paging style ¶

If you click the current page, you can use the .active to set the current page style, you can use the :hover selector to modify the style:

CSS instance

ul.pagination li a.active{
    background-color:#4CAF50;
    color:white;
}
ul.pagination li a:hover:not(.active){background-color:#ddd;}

CSS instance

ul.pagination li a.active {
    background-color: #4CAF50;
    color: white;
}
ul.pagination li a:hover:not(.active) {background-color: #ddd;}

Fillet styl ¶

CSS instance

ul.pagination li a {
    border-radius: 5px;
}
ul.pagination li a.active {
    border-radius: 5px;
}

Mouse hover transition effect ¶

We can add transition property to add a transition effect when the mouse moves over the page number

CSS instance

    transition: background-color .3s;
}

}
.pagination li:last-child a {
    border-top-right-radius: 5px;
    border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
}

Paging interval ¶

    margin: 0 4px; /\* 0 Corresponding to the head and bottom, you can modify it to see the effect \*/
}
