You can set the pagingType. There are also some paging plugins you can look at.

Thank you for helping, but i still got the problem that the output for simple_numbers , full_numbers , first_last_numbers the amount of number is same, i dont find that the pagingType can limit the amount of number

Yep, those types would still display the same number of buttons, but as Kevin said, you can create your own paging plugin to show less. What exactly do you want? No buttons? A fixed amount but less?

ohh i see "create your own paging plugin to show less" i should learn it first, what i want is like first|current-1|current page|current+1|last

colin

That sounds a lot like pagingType: "full", only with words and not numbers - see example here.

Maybe the ellipses paging plugin will be close. Looks like it has a setting where you can define how many page numbers to show:

$.fn.dataTableExt.oPagination.ellipses = {
    'oDefaults': {
        'iShowPages': 5
    },
