If we have more than 1 dataset with pagers this is confusing and should be threated as bad design of applicaiton. I think you need to add restriction that we should have only one pager on page.

Are results not items? Why have a design pattern for paginating items and then have another one for paginating results? Are results not items?

'Results Page' implies there's only one page. 'Results pages' would be better (I don't like Title Case capitalisation either). Even if it doesn't change when there's only one page of results, you'd be right more of the time. (Or why not just 'Results'? Not specific enough?)

The issue is that with small links, it's often hard to hit the link (since it is often 1 character wide.) I wrote a short <a href="http://blogs.proclarity.com/blogs/gbernhardt/archive/2006/3/13/51.aspx" title="blog post" rel="nofollow"> on how I think it improves on this pattern.

This pattern might need to allow for a left-to-right (LTR) layout when the host system is localized for a LTR language.

Will update this on the next push of the site. An interesting side effect of publishing the libraries is that we will also expose places on Yahoo! that we are not consistent with our patterns :-) But that is a good thing. Thanks! Jakob,

Both of these guidelines are followed in the implementation on Yahoo! Search, but I think they deserve to be made explicit in the documentation. Nice, but you need two additional guidelines:
