I invented a pagination system for web pages that allowed easy navigation with only a few clicks to get to the page you want, whether it was 3 pages or 3000 pages.
I’m really surprised no one else has invented it because it was so much better than anything else I’ve seen.
I wrote it for a friend’s company, and I don’t think he ever did anything much with it. I don’t remember the exact details, but it was something like this for 200 pages:
Basically 3 levels of page selection, where you can pick one in a range of 10, skip forward or back by 10 or go to a new section of pages. It was something like that anyway. The total number of pages defined the ranges. It was all very clever and worked well for moving around large numbers of pages.

Does it still exist, and can it be implemented client-side? That sounds really cool!

<1 - 100> [101 - 110] 111 … 120 [121 - 131] <131 - 200>

It’s a shame if he never did anything with it, but thanks for going into detail! :D
