title: Returning view from jQuery AJAX get operation
body: <p>I'm trying to make an asynchronous jQuery get to an MVC Action to return a view. For some reason, although it accesses the action, it does not render the view.</p>
  
  <p>This is the jQuery:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function showArchive(url) {
      var moreRecentThanDate = $("#chooseDate").val();
  
      $.get(url, { moreRecentThan: moreRecentThanDate });
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and this is the action :</p>
  
  <pre><code>    [HttpGet]
      public ActionResult ShowArchive(DateTime moreRecentThan)
      {
          List&lt;NewIndexViewModel&gt; model = Service.GetArchives(moreRecentThan);
          ViewBag.IsArchive = true;
  
          return View("Index", model);
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>PS:  I call this jQuery from an ad-hoc modal popup;</p>
