Can We Append (Chunk of) HTML in jQuery using Html.Partial Helper? C# ASP.Net MVC 5
<p>As the title suggests, I have a chunk of <code>HTML</code> which I put in one of my <code>PartialView</code>:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;div id="meaningPart"&gt;
  @Html.Partial("_Meaning", new MeaningModel() {number = 1})
&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>where my <code>_Meaning</code> partial <code>View</code> looks like this:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;div class="chunk"&gt;
   &lt;!--a lot of html here--&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Then, I create a <code>jQuery</code> which respond to a <code>&lt;input type="number"/&gt;</code> event (up and down) like the following:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;input id="numberMeaning" type="number" class = "col-md-2 form-control form-control-plus number-input" min = "0" max = "99" value = "1"/&gt;

$(document).ready(function () {
  var iCnt = 0;

  $("#numberMeaning").on('change', function () {
    var num = parseInt($("#numberMeaning").val());
    if (num &gt; iCnt) { //up
      iCnt++;       
      $("#meaningPart").append("&lt;p&gt;ok dude, this is really a new item!&lt;/p&gt;");
    } else { //down
      iCnt--;
    }
  });
});
</code></pre>

<p>now, the above code works fine because I simply put <code>"&lt;p&gt;ok dude, this is really a new item!&lt;/p&gt;"</code> in the <code>jQuery</code> <code>append</code>, but if I change this part:</p>

<pre><code>$("#meaningPart").append("&lt;p&gt;ok dude, this is really a new item!&lt;/p&gt;");
</code></pre>

<p>Into </p>

<pre><code>$("#meaningPart").append("@Html.Partial("_Meaning", new MeaningModel() {number = 2})"); //by right, the number should follow iCnt here.
</code></pre>

<p>Then, although the razor engine shows that the syntax is correct, the new Partial <code>HTML</code> just doesn't render.</p>

<p>How do we create a new partial <code>HTML</code> using <code>jQuery</code>? Is that possible? </p>

<p><em>(I am not too familiar with <code>template</code> attribute or <code>jQuery.clone</code> - but if it anyone can show how the adding to the html element can be done using those, I am open to that too)</em></p>
