Re: Need your recommendation for pagination links

It's not ideal to move the focus from the number clicked on to "previous"
but it doesn't necessarily "affect meaning or operation" of the page, which
is required for 2.4.3, so personally I wouldn't fail it.

Ideally, leave the focus where it was. Click on '2', leave the focus on
'2'. However, that means '2' should remain clickable. That is, if you're
on page '3' and then you click on '2', the page updates showing the
contents of page 2 and the focus should remain on '2' and '2' should remain
clickable. It should not become text only or read only or disabled.
Trying to leave the focus on an element that is no longer interactive can
cause problems.
