Hotmail style paging

[Tyno Gendo]

Hi everyone

I'm just wondering if anyone has some code already for a hotmail style
paging mechanism. Rather than showing all page numbers 1 2 3 ... etc.

It does this:

1 2 3 4 .... 10 .... 30
1 .......... 20 .... 30

If you have hotmail and lots of email please login and you will see what
I mean.

If anyone has one of these 'crazy' paging snippets I'd really appreciate
it, tried searching google but couldn't find anything.

thanks.

Yes, it does, thanks. However, that's a standard pager, I need it to be
a hotmail style so that no matter how many pages it say fits within a
block 200 pixels wide (or whatever) so it has to be intelligent and skip
numbers but still show the first set, a bit in the middle and the end
numbers.

I've just knocked up some quick and dirty code that does something like
this. Take a look at http://www.nigenet.org.uk/stuff/longpagdemo.php and see
if that helps... It may get you on the way at least.

Cheers,
