CFWheels Pagination using AJAX - ajax

Question

I've searched the entire Internet, all of it, and cannot find an answer to this.
I'm using the ColdFusion CFWheels Framework to query a database. The query is done via AJAX like this:
var id = $("#ship-id").val();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/my-controller/my-method?format=json",
data: {shipId: id},
dataType: "json",
success: function(response) {
var resultHtml = '';
$.each(response, function(i, value) {
resultHtml += '<tr><td>' + value.FIRSTNAME + ' ' + value.LASTNAME + '</td></tr>';
});
$("#my-table").html(resultHtml);
}
});
I need to paginate that result set. In CFWheels you normally do that by setting the handle, page, perPage and order values in the query like this:
var order = model("order").findAll(
select="id, firstname, lastname, email",
where="orderid IN (#ValueList(orders.id)#)",
handle="ordersQuery",
page=params.page,
perPage=5,
order="lastname"
);
Then you just put this line in your view:
<cfoutput>#paginationLinks(handle="ordersQuery")#</cfoutput>
But... how in the heck can you get pagination to work with an AJAX call?

I think that something along these lines might be your answer (notice I removed the url and added those params to data ...
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: {
shipId: id,
controller: myController,
action: myAction,
page: params.page,
},
dataType: "json",
success: function(response) {
var resultHtml = '';
$.each(response, function(i, value) {
resultHtml += '<tr><td>' + value.FIRSTNAME + ' ' + value.LASTNAME + '</td></tr>';
});
$("#my-table").html(resultHtml);
}
});
