paging with JavaScript and ASP "Next" "Previous"

[gilgalbiblewhee]

I have a 700 page website paged pg_0001 - pg_0700. And I figure to my knowledge in JavaScript and ASP ( unless you have an easier way ) I want to first read the existing pathname:

document.write(location.pathname);

Then somehow add +1 ( next page ) to the string or -1 ( previous page )

	function prevLocation() {
		document.write(location.pathname);
		window.location="pg_0001<%'1%>.asp";
	}
	function nextLocation() {
		document.write(location.pathname);
		window.location="pg_0001<%'1%>.asp";
	}

<a href="#" onclick="prevLocation();">Previous Page</a>
<a href="#" onclick="nextLocation();">Next Page</a>

You will need to use a regexp to extract just the number you want out of the page location. There's a decent VBScript RegExp tester at http://www.regular-expressions.info/...ptexample.html (you have to use IE in order to use it for some reason) and there is a javascript regexp tester at http://www.regular-expressions.info/...ptexample.html

Once you extract the number from the page location, then you can easily use mathematical expressions to add and subtract 1 from that number, and re-write the links.
