Pagination Standards
<p>Does anyone know of a defined standard for Pagination?  We have a consultant company that buildt a website for us and part of the site has a list of items that uses pagination.  They have a pretty standard pagination layout consisting of two buttons on either side of a list of numbers (links).  </p>

<pre><code>[&lt;&lt;]  [&lt;]   1   2   3   4   5   [&gt;]  [&gt;&gt;]
</code></pre>

<p>The buttons [&lt;] and [>] move you through the pages, either back on or forward one.  THe numbers are all direct links to the pages.</p>

<p>The problem I have is with the buttons with the double 'arrows'.  I think these should take you to the First or Last page.  Everyone here agrees with that and expect it to work that way.  However, the company that has designed the site has those buttons jumping 10 pages forward or backwards.  I"ve never seen this done like this, and so the expected behavior isn't what myself and other users are expecting.  This site just went live last night and we've already had 3 users report this functionality as a bug.</p>

<p>Is there a set of standards I can use for this to show the consultants? They don't want to change this functionality.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
