I am implementing paging in JavaScript,

Now if I have total_item_count = 69 and I want 10 records per page then it should show 7 pages but it is showing 6 pages.

What I am doing:

var totalpages = 69/10 ; // it should give 7 but its giving 6 

Thanks in advance.

• you have to make use od Math.ceil () function – EnterJQ Commented Feb 19, 2013 at 7:09

• @Smartboy: The logic here compels the use of ceil function. – nhahtdh Commented Feb 19, 2013 at 7:11

Try:

var Totalpages = Math.ceil(Total Records/ Records per Page);

Here:

var Totalpages = Math.ceil(69/10);   // gives 7

If you want to get the upper integer you can use ceil:

var totalpages = Math.ceil(69/10);

try this

var totalpages = Math.ceil(69/10) ;

ceil(): Round a number upward to it's nearest integer:

use Math.ceil to get the upper integer.

Math.ceil(69/10) should give you 7
