Hi.......

I'm trying to find a script that let's my site visitors go to a particluar reference page, or jump to a page number, the beginning or the end of the "series". This is hard to describe which is probably why I haven't been able to find it, let me give an example:

Let's say you have 20 pages of reference material under a common subject/topic. On the bottom of each page there would be a left double arrow (goes to the 1st page in the series) , a right double arrow (goes to the last pahe in the series). Also 4 or 5 of the "next" page numbers in the series would be visible (each an active link to that page number) would be visible, depending on the page the visitor was viewing.

Example, let's say you were on page 4: on the bottom of the page there would be the two double arrows, plus say "pages 5, 6, 7, 8...." the visitor can select. The whole idea is so I don't have to list all 20 pages of links on each and every page. If the visitor was on page 15, on the bottom he/she would see; "pages 16, 17, 18, 19......"

I see this set up on many web sites.

Any help is appreciated!

It is not done in javascript!

It's called pagination and it is handled using server side code (php, asp, .net etc)

Where a server-side language is not available, a JS solution is feasible when the number of files in the series is known, as it must be specified in the script and updated by the webmaster if/whenever the number changes.
If you can't implement a server-side solution, try this attached script.

I think all you have to do is to change the buttons visiblity ststus to false.
