jQuery Pagination

This is a nice, simplified version of a jQuery paginator plugin found at http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jquery-pagination
You should get paginator.js from http://rohitsengar.cueblocks.net/paginator/download.php?f=paginator.js
rather than doing as I have done by referring to it through the download link.

There are many paginator techniques I found this to be the simplest to use and you have more control over the style. Naturally, I kept mine to a minimum to get you started without having to understand all the CSS I've used.

See demo.

Simple layout #9

This one is very similar to Simple layout #8 (hope it's not a trend), but for 2 major differences. I have included a background image and colour in the header. I have increased and broadened the font of the header. These 2 small differences are to fall in line with current website trends.

See demo.

Simple layout #8

Just for fun, on this one I've used a slate background. The difference with this particular layout is the use of the central graphic between the 2 items of content, which are padded from the top to provide balance.

See demo.

Simple layout #6

In this layout I've tried to gain a clean look using green. I've also tried to use an image to separate the navigation from the content and provide a footer with the same graphic. Normally, I would have used a different font for the header. Still, you can take it apart and supply your own elements.

See demo.

Simple layout #5

This layout has started to appear in many websites these days. I haven't added any clever graphics, but it is very flexible in that regard. In my own version it's black with a red radial aligned to the centre which fades to transparency. I tried adding to to flickr, but flickr is not good with such subtleties. I also didn't bother with any changes to hover over the navigation in an attempt to keep the code as small as possible. Anyway, enjoy playing!

See demo.
