I found this question which is a great starting point towards creating embedded widgets that enable showing dynamic content on remote sites (i.e. a different domain).

One problem I'm having is with the following code:

public ActionResult SomeAction()
{
    return new JsonpResult
    {
        Data = new { Widget = "some partial html for the widget" }
    };
}

It says Widget = "some partial html for the widget" but this doesn't really mean anything to me. I assume that Widget would contain the HTML representing what the user wants to see on the screen, but How do I get the contents of my Partial View into Widget?

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks..
