In addition,as pages likely have more than one such navigation section,it’s advisable to provide a descriptive aria-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 be aria-label="Search results pages"
.
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 uses pointer-events:none
to tryto 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 add tabindex="-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.
