I think you meant:

var templ = new Template( “My favorite fruit are #{variety} #{fruit}s.” )

If all you want are Prototype-like templates in jQuery, you should check out my jQuery plugin, Simple Templates. Like you, I missed Prototype’s easy templating model, so I wrote the plug-in to behave similarly. It’s here: http://andrew.hedges.name/blog/2008/09/03/introducing-jquery-simple-templates

You can also implement templating very simply in “pure” JavaScript with the code snippet here: http://snipt.org/rpp

You might also want to check out Embedded JS (embeddedjs.com). It loads separate template files and provides rails-like helpers. Good stuff.
