I was looking for them on kayak and almost missed them. On the other hand, I did an application for Apple, that used sliders at the base of the main content, to page through it, and it was very warmly received. page 2 of 10 |--o------------| I hope you like (and can read) my ASCI mock up. As the user dragged the slider the page number updated and page contents refreshed. (It may have also had next previous arrows at the outsides I don't recall) The point being it was clear, obvious and easy to manipulate. It also reinforces user location within the content. The one other touch that it had, and scipt.aculo.us has available, is the thumb snapped to page indexes instead of being continuous. This helped a lot when the number of pages in different content blocks changed. /Kam -- /Kam ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
