Previous X Pages and Next X Pages

These two server behaviors should be used in conjunction with the Pages List Limited and Links List Limited server behaviors. Those two behaviors allow you to limit the number of recordset navigation links that are displayed on your page. The Previous X Pages and Next X Pages behaviors allow the user to skip ahead or back a specified number of pages. The links can look something like this:

[Previous 10] << 34 35 36 37 38 >> [Next 10] >> [Next 100]
of 387 Pages

Or like this:

Previous 10 ... 101-110 ~ 111-120 ~ 121-130 ... Next 10 of 387 Pages

The interface for the server behaviors allow you to choose the text or special characters that you want shown in the links.
