If you want to keep your templates in external files, you can load the template in like so:

1
2
3

$.get('/js/templates/filename.html', function(template) {
  $.tmpl(template, data).appendTo('#whatever');
});

A couple of benefits of this method:

• Organizing your templates into their own files is tidy.
• Your syntax highlighter will be happier, since you’re not writing HTML between two <script> tags.
