                        <input type="hidden" name="action" value="NAME_OF_THE_AJAX">
                        <input type="hidden" name="PageNumber" value="1">
                        <input type="hidden" name="PerPage" value="10">
                        <input type="hidden" name="order_sc" value="DESC">
