Here's How To Create A Responsive Pagination Outline | Scrollable

Displaying all page numbers can distort your page if there are too many of them. You can prevent this by applying a horizontal scrolling effect to the pager. By applying a scroll effect you can tack away page numbers that don't fit the page and access them by scrolling.

The code below shows how to do this by applying CSS to a DIV element containing the page numbers

Code for creating a scrollable paginator

01: 02: <style> 03: 04: div.y-scroll { 05: 06: width: 20%; 07: 08: overflow-x: auto; 09: 10: white-space: nowrap; 11: 12: } 13: 14: div.y-scroll > ul { 15: 16: list-style-type: none; 17: 18: } 19: 20: div.y-scroll > ul > li { 21: 22: display: inline-block; 23: 24: margin-right: 2%; 25: 26: border-color: #808380; 27: 28: border-style: double; 29: 30: padding: 2%; 31: 32: } 33: 34: div.y-scroll > ul > li > a { 35: 36: color: #fff; 37: 38: } 39: 40: </style> 41: 42: <div class="y-scroll"> 43: 44: <ul> 45: 46: <li><a href="#">></a></li> 47: 48: <li><a href="#">1</a></li> 49: 50: <li><a href="#">2</a></li> 51: 52: <li><a href="#">3</a></li> 53: 54: <li><a href="#">4</a></li> 55: 56: <li><a href="#">5</a></li> 57: 58: <li><a href="#">6</a></li> 59: 60: <li><a href="#">7</a></li> 61: 62: <li><a href="#">8</a></li> 63: 64: <li><a href="#">9</a></li> 65: 66: <li><a href="#">10</a></li> 67: 68: <li><a href="#">></a></li> 69: 70: </ul> 71: 72: </div> 73:

The div.y-scroll {} CSS block is responsible for creating the scrolling effect. The width specified is used to guard the number of page numbers that are displayed at a time.

The overflow-x property ensures that the undisplayed page numbers stay hidden, and with white-space set to wrap this ensures the hidden page numbers are not moved to the next line. This forces everything to stay hidden and only shown by scrolling.
