javascript (and jquery) templating

I just put up some code for doing templating with javascript(and jquery). Either on the server side or on the client side. If you open the html in your browser, it runs on the client side. If you first process it server side... then it runs server side(but not on the client side).

This is a followup from you are using the wrong templating language - as a proof of concept.

Why is this useful?

• No need for a server to process the templates. Either process them server side or client side.
• Data can be stored in a json file. No need for a database for testing. Just create json files in a text file.
• Can reuse knowledge of javascript libraries (like jquery), rather than learning one of 798394 different templating languages.
• Can keep one html file which front end web developers can edit without them needing a new template file.
• Can use jquery plugins on server side too(validation, etc).

Seems to work ok so far... but it still needs a lot of polish before it'll be useful. If it works out ok, I'll try it out on some real projects (where the main server side language is python).
