Would this web site idea, if desirable, be easy to implement?

retract the question and not bring it up again.) :-)
Russ,
Here's an idea I thought I'd ask about, if you have a moment
and might be the person to ask:
I fairly often do searches of the OEIS that turn up a few
dozen results.
E.g., just now, I went to
http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/index.html
and entered
keyword:uned keyword:new
in the Search box, and I got 96 results. As I scroll down
the page displaying results 1-10 and reach the bottom and
want to see the next page, I go to the page links (labeled
"2" through "10"), and click on the "2" to see the next page;
after scrolling to the bottom of that one, I need to click on
the "3", etc. On my monitor, those links are kinda small,
and it's easy for me to click the wrong one .... :-(
Would it be a fairly quick & easy thing to do -- if it were
decided that it would be worthwhile -- to add a larger "Next"
link, maybe to the right of the last numbered page link? I'm
thinking of something along the lines of the page links at
the bottom of a page of Google search results ... with a set
of numbered page links, preceded by a larger "Previous" link
(if the current page isn't page 1) and followed by a larger
"Next" link (if the current page isn't the last).
Would this be easy to do, if Neil were to decide it would be
a worthwhile change?
Thanks,
-- Jon

Jon, we had to work quite hard to get the OEIS
pages to both look nice and to be compatible
with all the browsers out there in hyperpsace
I think that's why those numbers are tiny. It's
not a big deal, and probably not worth Russ's
time to fix.
He is VERY busy with non OEIS matters!
