Load HTML template with JavaScript

I am struggling to find a clean solution to my problem and was wondering if anyone could offer some tips.

I have templates.html which contains a collection of HTML snippets which I want to load into JavaScript and use. What is a good way to access the templates/snippets bearing in mind that templates.html is not a loaded DOM document?

I was thinking about using document.open to create a DOM to access but I think this has issues on certain browsers.

You can load the html into a hidden div and then you will have a DOM access
the easiest way to load the html to a DIV is using jquery load: http://api.jquery.com/load/

$( #result ).load( ajax/test.html );
