</script> <script type="text/javascript"> $.tmplHelper('time', '#timeTagTemplate'); $.tmpl('#commentTemplate', { username: 'db', commented_at: '2011/03/09 01:55:11 UTC' }); </script>

(function($) {
  $.fn.extend({
    tmplHelper: function(method, selector) {
      $.tmpl.tag[method] = {
        open: "if($notnull_1){_=_.concat($item.nest(" + selector + ",$1));}"
      };
