You could do this via AJAX - ie writing some Javascript to request the
content and inject it into the page - if you really wanted. But I
can't understand why on earth you'd want to. If you want to show a
list of model instances, get a queryset in the view and iterate
through it in the template. Making several request/responses to render
a simple page will massively increase the load on your server and the
time it takes for the user to see the finished page.
Can you explain in a bit more detail what you're trying to do, and why
it couldn't be achieved by simply passing a queryset into the template
and using the {% for %} tag?
