Opera has had that for years, firefox/chrome still haven't picked it up? Between rel=next/prev and some simple heuristics, it is pretty effective right now.


Indeed; it’s been around for ages in Opera, and all you have to do to use it is press Space at the end of a page to go to the next one. I think they planned to use the attributes to support native swipe gestures on touch devices, but that never took off, unfortunately.

You can try it on my blog at http://pygm.us/vwR2WSYJ or a thread in NeoGAF: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=559996.

Something Awful used to support it, but they broke it by making the Last Page button the designated `next` destination, unfortunately.

It’s really the only way to go through pagination-heavy content. Anything else is way too tedious.

Everyone with a blog should implement this. It’s just silly not to.


Netscape 4 had it. They dropped it when they moved to Phoenix ^w Firebird ^w Firefox
