Why not use DHTML to load the external file. You can use an IFRAME on IE and a LAYER with the SRC attribute in Netscape. The template that you load should have a handler which calls back to the main page.
It would "tell" calling template that it had finished loading and to "do something". This something could be whatever you like, be it display some updated content (retrieved by the externally loaded template and then dumped into a div/layer) or set a local JS variable.... Try this: http://www.dansteinman.com/dynduo/en/source.html. Its easier than it looks.
