Dead simple jQuery pagination plugin [UPDATED]

This is an extremely simple jQuery plugin for paginating over lists of items. It uses the jQuery.slice() function to reveal the appropriate section of the list, which means it should work fine with dynamic or sortable lists.

Update: There was an off-by-one error in the original code — max = Math.floor([...]); should be max = Math.ceil([...])-1;
