jQuery templating engines

I am looking for a template engine to use client side. I have been trying a few like jsRepeater and jQuery Templates. While they seem to work OK in FireFox they all seem to break down in IE7 when it comes down to rendering HTML tables.

I also took a look at MicrosoftAjaxTemplates.js (from http://www.codeplex.com/aspnet/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=16766) but turns out that has the same problem.

Any advice on other templating engines to use?

Check out Rick Strahl's post Client Templating with jQuery. He explores jTemplates, but then makes a better case for John Resig's micro-templating solution, even improving it some. Good comparisons, lots of samples.
