Sorry Patrick. I was way off. I thought he was asking how to achieve the task in its enirety. I've revisited the originel email and, in my defence, it really wasn't terribly explicit.

RE: [WSG] semantically correct markup for "pagination"
Title: semantically correct markup for "pagination" In what language, Marco? This type of functionality is built into almost any site's search page. You can find examples of it everywhere. Using PHP you would just set a couple of variables and then perform a numrows count and repeat of the same query with a LIMIT of 10 or so. e.g. $totalResults+4/10; and then a LIMIT $StartPos, 10;, where $StartPos = ($PageNo-1)*10; and PageNo is a hidden field in your form. You then just add the Prev and Next buttons with an onclick event of document.results.PageNo.value= -- and value = ++. Sorry I couldn't write it more clearly but I dont think this presents any accesibility issues. It's just a few lines of code and it will be different for every occasion and language used.
