Question

angular.module('dodgie', []).config(function($routeProvider){
    $routeProvider.when('/home', {template:'/partials/home.html', controller:dodgieCtrl   }).
      otherwise({redirectTo:'/home'});
});

function dodgieCtrl($scope, $location){
    $scope.doSearch = function(){
        if ( !$scope.newTodo.length ) {
          return;
        }
    };
};

The content of :

<div id="content" ng-view></div>

is instead:

 <span class="ng-scope">/partials/home.html</span>

why isn’t my partials being rendered?

It looks like a typo try templateUrl instead of template:

angular.module('dodgie', []).config(function($routeProvider){
    $routeProvider.when('/home', {templateUrl:'/partials/home.html', controller:dodgieCtrl   }).
      otherwise({redirectTo:'/home'});
});

Taken from the docs:

• template – {string=} – html template as a string that should be used by ngView or ngInclude directives. this property takes precedence over templateUrl.
• templateUrl – {string=} – path to an html template that should be used by ngView.
