Loading the partial view Dynamically using jquery

Why don't you want to use the method that works ? You can browse to a partial view, if you want to, because the server will still find it. However, you want to make the request, get the HTML and then stuff it in to a div, using EXACTLY the jquery you posted. I am not sure what other method you are imagining you could use, but I'd create a method I could call with AJAX, so that I got returned the string in question and could stuff it where I wanted. AJAX is the only way I can think of to ask javascript to make a web request and store the result in a string.
