Answer 1

With .attr( attributeName, value ), you are setting the atrribute on every li!

See: http://api.jquery.com/attr/

.attr( attributeName, value ) attributeNameThe name of the attribute
to set. valueA value to set for the attribute.

You need to only select the LI’s with the right title. See below:

Solution:

$("li[title='Next Page'],li[title='Previous Page']").click(function(){alert("clicked");})

Updated answer:

$("#custom_pagination").find("a[title='Next Page'],a[title='Previous Page']").click(function(){alert("clicked");})
