Custom Paging

[Brady Kelly]

I'm trying to devise a custom paging control for use with our in house grid
(HTML table with lots of JavaScript). The paging should be alphabetic, so
what I've thought of doing is calculating a page set, with each page
displaying pagelen number of records between 'Aaron - Cook', e.g. where the
records from Aaron to Cook comprise one page. I favour this over just using
a single page button for each letter of the alphabet as the B page may have
more than pagelen records.



This approach will however potentially produce more page buttons than can be
display at once, and it's here I'm looking to enhance the user experience,
to avoid them having to scroll through the page buttons. Any ideas on how I
can present the page buttons to the user in more than just a scrolling list?

What about a menu or a sort of? Users could navigate through your page
sets easily, opening A-H set would in turn let them open sets
Aaron-Cook, Dedekind-Einstein, Fermi-Hubble and so on for each root set.
Just my 2 cents.

Hope this helps.
