jQuery .append(html) command appending incorrectly

Question

I am using a jQuery/Ajax call to append a partial view to a table. When the page loads, the partial view is created correctly. However, once the use attempts to append another item to the table, the formatting is incorrect despite the exact same partial view being used.

Here is the table. When this loads, the items are loaded onto the page correctly as the picture below illustrates:

         
    @foreach (var item in Model.BankListAgentId)
    {                    
        if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(item.AgentId) && item.FixedOrVariable.Equals("F"))
        {
            @Html.EditorFor(model => item, "FixedPartialView")                     
        }
    }

     
        
           State Code
           Agent ID
           
           
        
    
    



Add Another

Once you click the Add another link, this jQuery/Ajax call is activiated

That jQuery calls this method from the controller

    public ViewResult BlankFixedRow()
    {
        SelectList tmpList = new SelectList(new[] { "AL", "AK", "AS", "AZ", "AR", "CA", "CO", "CT", "DE", "DC", "FM", "FL", "GA", "GU", "HI", "ID", "IL", "IN", "IA", "KS", "KY", "LA", "ME", "MH", "MD", "MA", "MI", "MN", "MS", "MO", "MT", "NE", "NV", "NH", "NJ", "NA", "NM", "NY", "NC", "ND", "MP", "OH", "OK", "OR", "PW", "PA", "PR", "RI", "SC", "SD", "TN", "TX", "UT", "US", "VT", "VI", "VA", "WA", "WV", "WI", "WY" });
        ViewBag.StateCodeList = tmpList;

        return View("FixedPartialView", new BankListAgentId());
    }

Which calls this partial view EDIT(a couple people noticed the id tag missing from the , this was just a copy/paste error for this post, the actual code has the id tag)

    @model Monet.Models.BankListAgentId

@{
    Layout = null;
}
    @using (Html.BeginCollectionItem("BankListAgentId"))
    {
        
            
                @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.StateCode,
                    (SelectList)ViewBag.StateCodeList, Model.StateCode)
            
            
                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.AgentId)
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.AgentId)
            
            
                delete
            
            @*Delete*@
        
    }

This is the same partial view that is called when the page first loads, which part of why I'm confused that the end result after hitting the Add another link turns out looking like this

EDIT

If you hit the Add another link twice, this is the result

I've tried the following jQuery sucess commands with no luck

success: function (html) { $("#fixedRows > tbody:last").append(html); }
success: function (html) { $("#fixedRows tr:last").after(html); }
success: function (html) { $("#fixedRows  > tbody").append(html); }

Here is the HTML that is rendered after the Add another link is clicked. I included the opening

tag for the form below it to show that the new rows are nowhere to be found.

        
    
        Stat(s) Fixed
        
            
                State Code
                Agent ID
                
                
            

            
                
                    
                
                
                    
                    
                
                
                    delete
                
                
            
                
                    
                
                
                    
                    
                
                
                    delete
                
                
            
                
                    
                
                
                    
                    
                
                
                    delete
                
                        
        
        

        Add Another
    
     
Add Another

EDIT

Here is a screen shot of the table in Chrome's debugger after the Add Another link is clicked. As you can see, the data pulled from the table is loaded properly in respective tags, however the empty row (which is sent via the same partial view as the rest) doesn't have any of the same table elements. The screen shot below that shows Response, however, which does include the tags

enter image description here

EDIT

I put a console.log(html) line in the success Ajax function so it now reads

            success: function (html) {
                console.log(html);
                $("#fixedRows > tbody").append(html);
            }

Here is the console output (state edited for readability)

What a complete nightmare...

First off, the HTML that was being returned as viewable in Chrome's debugger was fine, however when I clicked on "View Source" for the page, I could not see anything but what was originally loaded. After finding this post, I found that this is normal. I then used this Chrome add-on to finally see that the and tags were being stripped out. By simply adding an opening and closing tag to the append statement, I got the returned items to append to the table.

    $(".addFixed").click(function () {
        $.ajax({
            url: '@Url.Action("BlankFixedRow", "BankListMaster")',
            dataType: 'html',
            cache: false,
            success: function (html) {
                $("#fixedRows > tbody").append('' + html + '');
            }
        });
    });
