Question

I want to divide my array into pages, 4 per page. I have found out how many pages I will need:

var no_of_entries = docs.length;
var no_of_pages = (Math.round(no_of_entries / 4));

How would I add ‘s with page numbers in and a unique id from this variable?

i.e if the variable for no_of_pages is 3, I’ll need 3 spans, numbered 1-3 each with unique id’s (preferabbly the id matching the number).

Answer 1

you might try something like this:

for (var i = 1; i <= no_of_pages; i++) {
  $('.YOUR-WRAPPER').append('<span id="ID-NAME' + i + '">Whatever text you want</span>')
}
