// collection  
state: {
    pageSize: 15
}

// view
// Initialize a new Grid instance
var grid = new Backgrid.Grid({
    columns: columns,
    collection: that.collection,
    footer: Backgrid.Extension.Paginator
});

Same code as this?

Can you paste the response of the URL here?

[benhowdle89]

The URL that is generated by the pagination links is: https://api.com/quotes?page=-17&per_page=15 for example.

Like I mentioned in the SO question, server side handling of params isn't implemented yet, so it just returns a full set regardless. But I'm interested to know why there are minus numbers generated...

Ok I really can't reproduce this problem. I'll need a full jsFiddle for this.

Ok, I've done a little bit of code fiddling and reading and I still failed to come up with a case to generate a PageableCollection state that gives you a negative page number. Backgrid.Extension.Paginator can't generate negative page numbers unless you have a negative first page number, and you can't have a negative first page number unless you set it explicitly by hand and have overridden PageableCollection to skip checkState.

I'm going to close this for now. Let me know if this is still bothering you and can provide a working jsfiddle.
