Do i need to be using partialviews for this?

tejp

each tab is a new view so do not require that work

I tried to do an ajax call using the @url.action helper within the key url for $ajax function but this kept duplicating all items on the page everytime i clicked. it seemed the tab clicked was loading in the same page but not clearing??

That's your javascript code that it's not clearing.

how can i call the @url.action method within javascript to render a new view
