First page of pagination always active!

[Java]

Hi

The pagination on my site works, that is to say button 1 gives page 1, button 2 gives page 2, 3 page 3 and so on. But page 1 always remains the current, active page no matter what I do, so the pagination display always remains 1 2 3 NEXT.
I've searched the forum front to back and back to front, but haven't found a solution to this problem.
The code I am using is simple:

$items = $page->children("limit=n");
  $pager = modules('MarkupPagerNav');
  echo $pager->render($items);
  echo $page->body;
foreach($page->children("limit=15") as $child)

The attached image shows the generated code.

What could be wrong here?

Thanks wbmnfktr. I've seen that and I've tried it, but it makes no difference.
More out of desperation than wisdom I changed "n" to "15" and it works!
So the code is now:
$items = $page->children("limit=15");
echo $pager->render($items);
foreach($page->children("limit=15") as $child)
I'm curious about the explanation of this.

I think "n" is simply an instruction to type the number of results that you would like to have per page in place of it.

Ok... I didn't notice your usage of n in your query/selector but what @taotoo said is true.

n is a placeholder for n=number/integer for the amount of entries/pages/items (however you wanna call it).

It's the number of entries you want to see.
