Here’s some Javascript I use to create a widget on my site:

var boxText = document.createElement("div");
boxText.class = "infobox-custom";
boxText.style.cssText = "margin-top: -215px; margin-left: -500px; border-radius: 10px; background-color:#438BC0; padding: 5px; height: 400px; width: 600px;";

// Notice this:
boxText.innerHTML = '<p>Some text.</p>';

Pretty simple. I need to set the .innerHTML to something much more complex and just sploshing it into a single line in Javascript doesn’t feel right. It smells – at least to me.

What are my options here?

Can I have a PartialView and return that from my Controller to a jQuery POST request?

What do you recommend?
