You need an ajax view for the action that either prints out just the
snippet of html ( HIJAX or AJAH method ) and renders that by itself
without a layout.
Or..
You can return a javascript array in your view. ( JSON method )
Or..
You can return a well formed XML document ( AJAX method ) with an xml
layout that sets the content type headers correctly for you.
With the first one the $( "selector" ).html( returnedHtml ) will put
the markup into the the element selector ( usually a container div )
With the second two you need to parse and transform the JSON or XML
into html using jquery ( or even better, any one of the jquery dom
creation tools on the jquery plugins page ) and insert the content
into the document. Usually this would happen in one of jquery's ajax
method callbacks. There are a few good tutorials on the jquery
tutorial page.
If the appended elements need to have even handler applied to them you
can do so in the callbacks as well. There is an excellent tutorial
linked from the jquery site named something along the lines of
"Correctly using callbacks" or some such listed under the Ajax heading
that explains this very well.
Good luck.
