         <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.3.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
         <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.8.2/underscore-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
         <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/backbone.js/1.1.2/backbone-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   </head>
   <body>
      <div id="mydiv"></div>
      <script type="text/javascript">
         var ViewDemo = Backbone.View.extend({
            el: $('#mydiv'),
         template: _.template("JavaTpoint <%= tagline %>"),
               initialize: function(){
                  this.render();
               },

               render: function(){

                  this.$el.html(this.template({tagline: 'A solution of all technology...'}));
               }
         });

         var myview = new ViewDemo();
         </script>
         </body>
      </html>
