RenderSection does not work inside Partial View in ASP.NET MVC3

In my ASP.NET MVC3 project, I have the standard _Layout.cshtml generated by Visual Studio 2010, and after closing my <body> I put a RenderSection :

_Layout.cshtml:

 </body> <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script> @RenderSection("ScriptContent", required: false) </html>

Then in my Index.cshtml View I have:

 @model MyApp.ViewModels.MyViewModel @{ Html.RenderPartial("MyPartial", Model); }

If I put @section ScriptContent in Index.cshtml, it will display correctly. If I put it in my Partial View MyPartial.cshtml :

 @model MyApp.ViewModels.MyViewModel @section ScriptContent { <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/Filters.js")" type="text/javascript"></script> }

In my page source, I have:

 </body> <script src="/Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> </html>

The @section value @section not executed. What could be the reason? Thanks

Cannot set @section in layout from partial view. As a workaround, you could instead invoke an action that displays the necessary <script> and HTML, although this is not very elegant.
