Better Pagination

Instead of relying on the server side to generate the HTML template and pagination buttons, it would be a lot easier and faster if we seprate each task like this:

• Server side will handle the queries then return the data in json format.
• JsRender will use the json data to render the HTML.
• simplePagination will be responsible for generating the pagination buttons.

Advantages:

• Faster paging response time.
• Easier to format HTML template.
• Easier for other applications to interface with your data because the return type is in standard JSON format.
• Server side is so much lighter, we only need to focus on the queries and nothing else!

In this example I made use of PHP as my server side scripting.
