CSS Pagination Examples


Learn how to create a responsive pagination using CSS.


Simple Pagination

If you have a website with lots of pages, you may wish to add some sort of pagination to each page:

Example

.pagination {
  display: inline-block;
}

.pagination a {
  color: black;
  float: left;
  padding: 8px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
}

Active and Hoverable Pagination

Highlight the current page with an .active class, and use the :hover selector to change the color of each page link when moving the mouse over them:

Example

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

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

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

  border-radius: 5px;
}

}

}

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";
}
