Small JavaScript function to create python-like string formatting (without the type of the variable)

gistfile1.js

var str_tpl = function (str, map) {
    var prop;

    str = str + '';
    for (prop in map) {
        if (map.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
            str = str.replace('%(' + prop + ')', map[prop]);
        }
    }

    return str;
}

// Example
var TEMPLATE = '<div id="%(divID)">%(content)</div>';
var html = str_tpl(TEMPLATE, {
    "divID": "minha-div",
    "content": '<a href="#">Qualquer HTML</a>'
});
