How to achieve master pages / templating in the html5/jquery world

Question

I'm working on a greenfield web app. We're evaluating technologies such as htlm5/jquery/backbone.js talking to a RESTful web service.

For page 1, this is fine. For page 2, I don't want to copy and paste anything. In the ASP.NET world, I would use Master Pages bring in the and definitions, headers, footers etc.

Is there a javascript/client-side approach to master-pages?

Answer 1

There are only two ways to do this in HTML5:

1. Using <iframe>
2. Using JavaScript

Since <iframe> is an outdated concept, using JavaScript is recommended.
