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:

.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:

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

Rounded Active and Hoverable Buttons #

Add the border-radius property if you want a rounded “active” and “hover” button:

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

Hoverable Transition Effect #

Add the transition property to the page links to create a transition effect on hover:

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

Bordered Pagination #

Use the border property to add borders to the pagination:

.pagination a { border: 1px solid #ddd; /* Gray */ }

Rounded Borders #

Tip: Add rounded borders to your first and last link in the pagination:

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

Space Between Links #

Tip: Add the margin property if you do not want to group the page links:

.pagination a { margin: 0 4px; /* 0 is for top and bottom. Feel free to change it */ }

Pagination Size #

Change the size of the pagination with the font-size property:

.pagination a { font-size: 22px; }

Centered Pagination #

To center the pagination, wrap a container element (like <div>) around it with text-align:center

.center { text-align: center; }

Breadcrumbs #

Another variation of pagination is so-called “breadcrumbs”:

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"; }
