I just blogged on how to write a generic jquery function to handle ajax request that return html in json response. It's a good trick that I believe will find its way in your code library.

What I blogged about in this post is how to return html content in json response type. The useful thing about this technique is that you get to write your html once in a partial view, which you can then render using full page or ajax request, you can also use the same ajax request with different unrelated url that returned different types. This saves you from writing too many codes for different kind of request and reduces view duplication between server and client side.

The final result
