In this first part of a three-part series, I provide you with a brief introduction to using the main features offered by the Quick Pagination jQuery plug-in. You'll appreciate many of its features, particularly its flat learning curve.
Being the favorite JavaScript library of a large number of web designers, in the last few years jQuery has gained a well-deserved popularity due to its appealing features. One of these is its intuitive API, which allows developers to perform all sorts of client-side programming tasks, such as powerful DOM manipulation, event handling and dynamic CSS assignment. That, along with an impressive number of free plug-ins, have made this package hard to beat.
Among the variety of plug-ins that can be coupled to jQuery, there’s one in particular that deserves a deeper analysis, because of its flat learning curve and functionality. Yes, as the article’s title suggests, I’m talking about Quick Pagination, a small library developed by Mark Perkins. It permits developers to paginate elements on a web page in a snap via unobtrusive JavaScript. The library does an excellent job, as it provides the typical “Prev” and “Next” paging links for moving backward and forward across elements, in addition to displaying a basic page counter.
Aside from these core features, Quick Pagination can be easily customized through a set of additional options, which makes the plug-in even more versatile and suitable for use in diverse projects and situations. Therefore, if you’re looking for a simple jQuery add-on that lets you paginate database records, text file data and so forth without having to deal with full-featured and more complex libraries, in the lines to come I’ll be taking a close look at the Quick Pagination jQuery plug-in, so you can see what it actually can do for you.
