Web standard: markup for navigating next/previous page and browsers support


A lot of web-pages structured by pagination or have natural meaning for Next/Previous page (forums/blogs/news).

Are there web standard that allow marking such links?

What browsers have support for key binding to follow next/previous page (to avoid searching for next link, which have different styling and positioning in different sites)?


Solution

  • HTML5 defines the sequential link types next and prev.

    User agents could pick this up and do something with it (like offering a key binding, showing a button, etc.).
