The tag provides several different options for displaying “Next” and “Previous” links on your search results pages.

<ss:link shortcut="ListNext#"/>

Displays a link to the next search results page, with the text “Next N”, where “N” is the number of search results on the next page.


<ss:link shortcut="ListPrev"/>

Displays a link to the previous search results page, with the text “Prev”.


<ss:link shortcut="ListPrev#"/>

Displays a link to the previous search results page, with the text “Next N”, where “N” is the number of search results on the previous page.


<ss:link shortcut="ListPrevNextText"/>

Displays a link to the previous (”Prev”) and the next (”Next”) search results pages.


<ss:link shortcut="ListPrevNextText#"/>

Displays a link to the previous (”Prev N”) and the next (”Next N”) search results pages, where “N” is the number of search results on the next or previous page.


<ss:link shortcut="ListMediumText"/>

Displays a link to each of the pages containing search results.


<ss:link shortcut="ListLongText"/>

Displays a link to the previous page (”Prev”), each of the pages containing search results, and the next page (”Next”).

Image Options


<ss:link shortcut="ListLongImagesCommon"/>

Displays a series of images that allow the shopper to go to the previous page, last page, or select any of the pages in between. The “between” pages are represented by identical images, in either “on” or “off mode. See the next example to create a series with unique images. The pages that are unavailable (for example, the “previous” page when you are on the first results page) use the *off.gif images.

The following images must be uploaded to the images area in order for this tag to work correctly:

* nextpon.gif; nextpoff.gif (”previous” page)
* nextnon.gif; nextnoff.gif (”next” page)
* next1on.gif; next1off.gif


<ss:link shortcut="ListLongImagesUnique"/>

Displays a series of images that allow the shopper to go to the previous page, next page, or select any of the pages in between.

The pages that are unavailable (for example, the “previous” page when you are on the first results page) use the *off.gif images.

The following images must be uploaded to the images area in order for this tag to work correctly:

* nextpon.gif; nextpoff.gif (”previous” page)
