title: Continous refresh of PartialView using ASP.NET MVC 3
body: <p>I am developing a website using ASP.NET MVC 3.</p>
  
  <p>I have a number of sections containing news from different departments, as shown in the picture below:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/G21qi.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.stack.imgur.com/G21qi.png</a></p>
  
  <p>The sections are added to the masterpage by using</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Html.Action("_News", "Home", new { id = 1 })
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Where id 1 = "Ledelsen", 2 = "Omstillingen" and so on.</p>
  
  <p>My Controller contains the following Action:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[ChildActionOnly]
  public ActionResult _News(int id)
  {
      // controller logic to fetch correct data from database
      return PartialView();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I got CRUD up and running, but my question is how I can refresh the PartialViews without postback, at a set interval?</p>
  
  <p>I'm guessing I have to use Javascript/jQuery to accomplish this, but I have not been able to.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone point me in the right direction or better yet, provide an example of how to do this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Just to clarify I do not want the whole page to refresh, but only do an asynchronous refresh of the partialviews</p>
