buttons and images would be suitable, though.  however, in your method
you'd have to have a seperate <form> and seperate submit button for
every page.  instead of just writing a clever javascript handler change
a hidden page number field and doing the form.submit()

thoughts are good!
i actually wouldn't have even considered it had you not mentioned it.
and in some cases (intranet apps, for example) 'hiding' the id list
is definately preferable...  as well as preventing bookmarking.
