You could always build your page in-memory and use innerHTML or
document.write. But, this would be extremely hard to read.

This sounds like a very complex task. Have you thought of using server-
side programming to solve this? The benefit of this is that you could
keep your pages sepaarated, and use the server code to serve up
whatever page is required. I use Java myself, so I'd use a combination
of Java, Servlets, and JSPs in an app server. Others here use ASP
technology in .NET, others use PHP, etc. Find something you like and
make a great - and readable - project.
