user-interfacepaginationnavigation

Is there a name for this type of page navigation?

Just out of curiosity, is there a name for the kind of navigation I've been working on?

It looks like this:

<<first <previous 1 2 3 4 5 [...] 20 next> last>>

i.e. navigation where you've got x pages, but you don't want to show x links, you want to limit the amount of space taken up, so you show y links at a time, and indicate the existence of the other pages with an elision.

At some point in the middle, it would look like this:

<<first <previous [...] 8 9 10 11 12 [...] 20 next> last>>

with elisions on both sides.

Solution

  • Answering to just clear up this question. I hereby declare that it has no official name.

    I also hereby make up the name 'elided pagination' for it.
