Simple Pagination

If your website has many pages, you need to use pagination to navigate each page.

The following example demonstrates how to use HTML and CSS to create pagination:

CSS Example

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;
}

Click and Hover Pagination Styles

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

CSS Example

ul.pagination li a.active {
    background-color: #4CAF50;
    color: white;
}

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

Try it »

CSS Example

ul.pagination li a.active {
    background-color: #4CAF50;
    color: white;
}

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

Rounded Style

You can use the border-radius property to add rounded corners to the selected page number:

CSS Example

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

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

Hover Transition Effect

We can add a transition effect when the mouse moves over a page number by adding the transition property:

CSS Example

ul.pagination li a {
    transition: background-color .3s;
}

    border-top-left-radius: 5px;
    border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
}

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

Pagination Spacing

Tip: You can use the margin property to add space between each page number:

CSS Example

ul.pagination li a {
    margin: 0 4px; /* 0 corresponds to top and bottom, you can modify it to see the effect */
}
