Pagination Examples
In addition, as pages likely have more than one such navigation section, it’s advisable to provide a descriptivearia-label for the<nav> to reflect its purpose. For example, if the pagination component is used to navigate between a set of search results, an appropriate label could bearia-label="Search results pages".
Disabled and active states
Pagination links are customizable for different circumstances. Use.disabled for links that appear un-clickable and.active to indicate the current page.
While the.disabled class usespointer-events: none totry to disable the link functionality of<a>s, that CSS property is not yet standardized and doesn’t account for keyboard navigation. As such, you should always addtabindex="-1" on disabled links and use custom JavaScript to fully disable their functionality.
You can optionally swap out active or disabled anchors for<span>, or omit the anchor in the case of the prev/next arrows, to remove click functionality and prevent keyboard focus while retaining intended styles.
