If you want to fetch HTML content through AJAX then you must append it
to something on the page. It doesn't get much cleaner than
$('#content').append(data). Although, if you want to replace some
existing content that's another story. But it's still a simple job
with jquery. There's also the load() function.
And, as Krissy said, use an ajax layout so the view doesn't come
wrapped in a regular layout.
