PartialView is not working (whole page refresh instead)

Question

Hello I am new to MVC 4. I am having a problem with partialView.. I goole it and searched alot and studied different tutorials but couldn't find any solution that can address my problem.I created a PagedList to display records at Index.cshtml page. Then I created PartialIndex.cshtml page to display records in Partial View. Here is problem: When I click on any page number or navigate.. whole page refreshes and post back... partial view is not working.Don't Know where I am doing wrong. I want to show table inside the DIV in PartialIndex.cshtml

PartialIndex.cshtml:

<div id="targetContainer"> //I want to show this DIV in partial view.
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>
            @Html.ActionLink("ID", "Index", new { sortOrder = ViewBag.customerID, currentFilter=ViewBag.CurrentFilter })
        </th>
        <th>
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayName("First Name")
        </th>
        <th></th>
        <th>
            @Html.ActionLink("Last Name", "Index", new { sortOrder = ViewBag.lName, currentFilter=ViewBag.CurrentFilter })
        </th>
        <th></th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayName("Contact Num")
        </th>

        <th>
            @Html.DisplayName("Address")
        </th>

        <th>
            @Html.DisplayName("Email")
        </th>
        <th></th>
    </tr>

@foreach (var item in Model) {
    <tr>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.customerId)
        </td>
        <td>
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.fName)
        </td>
        <td>
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.lName)
        </td>
        <td>
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.contactNum)
        </td>
        <td>
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.address)
        </td>
        <td>
        </td>
        <td>

        </td>
        <td>
        @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id=item.ID })
        @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id=item.ID })
        </td>
