Pagination Styles

This page covers advanced pagination styling including hover effects, transitions, and breadcrumbs.

Pagination with Hover Effect

Use the :hover selector to change the background color of each page link when the user hovers over them:

Example

.pagination li a:hover:not(.active) {
background-color: lightgray;

}

Transition Effect on Hover

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

Example

  .pagination li a {
  display: block;
  padding: 8px 12px;

  text-decoration: none;
  border: 1px solid gray;
  color:
  black;
  margin: 0 4px;
  border-radius: 5px;

  transition: background-color 1s;
}

Another variation of pagination is a so-called "breadcrumb":

Example

ul.breadcrumb {
  padding: 8px;

list-style: none;
  background-color: #eee;
}

ul.breadcrumb li {display: inline;}
ul.breadcrumb li a {color: green;}

ul.breadcrumb li+li:before {

padding: 8px;
  color: black;
  content: "/\00a0";
}
