You are returning a view that contains {{extend "layout.html"}} when
you return the ajax, so since your returning the entire page html...
you insert the page over again :)
You can
A) Return a view that does not extend layout
B) Return a string that represents the html instead of a dict
C) Call it with .json instead of .html so that your dict gets
serialized into JSON and returned.
