Load view from javascript

I have a button on a page and want to pass two parameters to an action method when I click the button:

HTML

@Html.DropDownList("compId", new SelectList(@ViewBag.Comps, "Id", "Name"), "-- select Comp --", new {id="ddlComp"})

@Html.DropDownList("divId", new SelectList(@ViewBag.Div, "Id", "Name"), "-- select Division--", new {id="ddlDiv"})

<input type="button" id="btnNew" value="Add New"/>
...
<script type=text/javascript">

  $("#btnNew").click(function(){
     var compid = $("#ddlComp").val();
     var divid = $("#ddlDiv").val();
     var url = "../Admin/NewItems";

    // ? What goes here to call the Action Method?
    // When I use...
    $.get(url, {compId: compid, divId: divid});
    // the action is called but the page is not loaded
  )}

What call do I make in the script to the Action?

The Action Method...

C#

public ActionResult NewItems(string compId, string divId)
{
  // get some data... var items = db.SomeTable.Where(...);
  return View(items.ToList());
}

The Action returns a new page.

Thanks

If you want to submit to action, just using form

C#

@using (Html.BeginForm("NewItems","Admin")){
     @Html.DropDownList("compId", new SelectList(@ViewBag.Comps, "Id", "Name"), "-- select Comp --", new {id="ddlComp"})
 
     @Html.DropDownList("divId", new SelectList(@ViewBag.Div, "Id", "Name"), "-- select Division--", new {id="ddlDiv"})
     <button type="submit">Submit</button>
}

Or if you want load using jquery get, you should use callback function

JavaScript

$.get(url, {compId: compid, divId: divid}, function(data){
//load html into a div
$('#divId').html(data);
//other
});

Or you want return data using json?
