This JavaScript code snippet helps you to create simple table pagination. It allows you to define table rows per page and generate paging accordingly. You need to create an HTML table element with rows and columns then this pagination plugin automatically renders pages for it.

How to Create Simple Table Pagination JavaScript

1. First, create the HTML table element with a unique id and place your data inside it.

 <table id="myTable">
	<tr>
		<th>Head col 1</th>
		<th>Head col 2</th>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>CodeHim</td>
		<td>Free HTML CSS</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>JavaScript</td>
		<td>Code & Scripts</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>row #3 col1</td>
		<td>row #3 col2</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>row #4 col1</td>
		<td>row #4 col2</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>row #5 col1</td>
		<td>row #5 col2</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>row #6 col1</td>
		<td>row #6 col2</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>row #7 col1</td>
		<td>row #7 col2</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>row #8 col1</td>
		<td>row #8 col2</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>row #9 col1</td>
		<td>row #9 col2</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>row #10 col1</td>
		<td>row #10 col2</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>row #11 col1</td>
		<td>row #11 col2</td>
	</tr>
</table>

2. After that, define the CSS styles for the table and pagination as follows:

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  text-align:center;
}

body {
  background-color: #fafafa;
}

table {
  color: #333;
  font-size: .9em;
  font-weight: 300;
  line-height: 40px;
  border-collapse: separate;
  border-spacing: 0;
  border: 2px solid #ed1c40;
  width: 500px;
  margin: 50px auto;
  box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.16);
  border-radius: 2px;
}

th {
  background: #ed1c40;
  color: #fff;
  border: none;
}

tr:hover:not(th) {background-color: rgba(237,28,64,.1);}


input[type="button"] {
	transition: all .3s;
    border: 1px solid #ddd;
    padding: 8px 16px;
    text-decoration: none;
    border-radius: 5px;
	font-size: 15px;
}

input[type="button"]:not(.active) {
	background-color:transparent;
}

.active {
	background-color: #ff4d4d;
	color :#fff;
}

input[type="button"]:hover:not(.active) {
	background-color: #ddd;
}

// get the table element
var $table = document.getElementById("myTable"),
// number of rows per page
$n = 5,
// number of rows of the table

// get the first cell's tag name (in the first row)

// ($p) is the selected page number. it will be generated when a user clicks a button

	// create the pagination buttons
	document.getElementById("buttons").innerHTML = pageButtons($pageCount,$p);
	// CSS Stuff
	document.getElementById("id"+$p).setAttribute("class","active");
}


// ($pCount) : number of pages,($cur) : current page, the selected one ..
function pageButtons($pCount,$cur) {
	/* this variables will disable the "Prev" button on 1st page
	   and "next" button on the last one */
	var	$prevDis = ($cur == 1)?"disabled":"",
		$nextDis = ($cur == $pCount)?"disabled":"",
		/* this ($buttons) will hold every single button needed
		** it will creates each button and sets the onclick attribute
		** to the "sort" function with a special ($p) number..
		*/
		$buttons = "<input type='button' value='<< Prev' onclick='sort("+($cur - 1)+")' "+$prevDis+">";
	for ($i=1; $i<=$pCount;$i++)
		$buttons += "<input type='button' id='id"+$i+"'value='"+$i+"' onclick='sort("+$i+")'>";
	$buttons += "<input type='button' value='Next >>' onclick='sort("+($cur + 1)+")' "+$nextDis+">";
	return $buttons;
}
