Thanks David. Very cool and very quick! For #2, you can use unordered lists for the paging controls. You see it in menu systems like Suckerfish/Superfish where the styling determines if the bullets are present, the items are laid out vertically or horizontally, spacing, etc... For a paging list, just see the bottom of http://drupal.org/. (some basic info here http://mirificampress.com/permalink/the_amazing_li)
I'm not saying this is the preferred way to go or even a recommended thing to try. It definitely requires more styling. It may be better for screen readers.., not sure. Just something to think about... So, to use blank spaces between page numbers instead of bullets, is all I need to do is set the following after loading exhibit-api.js? Exhibit.TabularView.l10n.pageSeparator = " "; Again, thanks for adding these features. - John David Huynh wrote: > John Callahan wrote: > >> Thank you very much for this addition.
