How to Render Content from a Separate File

[Paul]

I'm working with the layout example and seem to be missing something very basic.  If I run:

$(document).ready(function (){    
    var fooView = new kendo.View("<span>foo</span>");
    var layout = new kendo.Layout("<header>Header</header><section id='content'></section><footer>Footer</footer>");
    layout.render($("#app"));
    layout.showIn("#content", fooView);
});

I get  as expected:
Header
foo
Footer

What I can't figure out is the how to replace:
var fooView = new kendo.View("<span>foo</span>");

with an external file (i.e. foo.html that contains <span>foo</span>)

What is the syntax to load content from an external html file into the content section of a layout?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Paul,

you have to access that file with some Ajax call. For example, you can use jQuery's $.get method.

Another possibility is to use the require.js "text" plugin.
