jQuery render html from Rails view

Question

I am using jQuery in my Rails project to respond to an AJAX call. I want to replace some html with the updated html (from a partial).

$('#cart').html('<%= render(@cart) %>')

This doesn't work, and when I check FireBug, it expands out to:

$('#cart').html('<h1>multiple
    lines
    <a href="of">html</a>
    </h1>')

Try:

$('#cart').html('<%= escape_javascript(render(@cart)).html_safe %>')
