UI design: templates for wizard driven app?

Question

Greetings,

I have moderate experience design UIs that combine JS and HTML. Problem is that most of that technology I know is "old".

I poked around the web and I've seen really nice looking sites using (seemingly) libraries such as jQuery.

My boss just assigned me to build a prototype of an app dedicated to our field staff. I want to design something that is a) "sexy" b) can display on both handheld and lap/desktop (CSS) and c) wizard driven.

Something like this would be ideal...the user navigates to the home page and see the first "wizard"

Step 1)
a) install product AAA
b) install product BBB.
...check a) and Click NEXT

Step 1.a) "You chose `install product AAA`" 
a) troubleshooting
b) tech bulletins
...

I started playing with jQuery but I wonder if is there a templating app that I could use for that purpose?? Am I dreaming.......?

TIA,

Chris.

• stackoverflow.com/questions/170168/jquery-templating-engines

• quick tip about templating with jquery on net.tutsplus

• jquery UI not a template engine but a collection of tools to enhance your app

However my opinion is to use javascript to only add interaction and not to present the data.
