Re: Need your recommendation for pagination links

Hi Dinesh,

From the usability point of view:
1. The focus should remain on Previous and next button / links upon
activation as the user may want to activate the next / previous
buttons continuously. Ensure there is information to the screen reader
users which page has been loaded with ARIA live regions.
2. Activating any of the numbered links in pagination should ideally
take the focus to the newly loaded content.


Thanks & Regards,
Mohith B. P.
