mvc contrib pager question

Let us say I have a bunch of checkboxes above my grid. posting their values (if selected) is no problem. I can also manipulate the the query strings that the pager uses for a GET request like this:

Html.Pager(Model.AssetsPagedList)
        .First("First")
        .Last("Last")
        .Next("Next")
        .Previous("Previous")
          .Link(currentPage => Url.Action("Brow开发者_开发问答se", new {  
            page = currentPage,
            searchTerm = Model.SearchModel.SearchTerm,
            excludedWords = Model.SearchModel.ExcludedWords,
            minPrice = Model.SearchModel.MinPrice,
            maxPrice = Model.SearchModel.MaxPrice,
            locationId = Model.SearchModel.LocationId,  
            catalogId = Model.SearchModel.CatalogId
        })) 

I am just wondering whether I can use the pager in a POST scenario. I guess on could change the links dynamically (after the checkboxes are changed) using javascript/jquery and still use GET. Or could change the links to submit buttons for POSTs. Did anyone use the pager like this?

Thanks.

Links cannot send POST requests. Only HTML forms or AJAX can. So either AJAXify your links or use forms with submit buttons (for this you will need to write a custom pager because the one used in MVCContrib uses links).

As far as AJAXifying the links is concerned:

$('.pagination a').live('click', function() {
    $.post(this.href, function(result) {
        // do something with the result
    });
    return false;
});
