javascript - HTML 5 page navigation

Question

What is the preferred way to navigate between HTML5 web pages without using any server side scripting language. Would Jquery be a good choice?

Consider a user logs in and lands at home page. Home page contains many links to navigate to other pages.

Edit 1

I need to communicate to server via AJAX to perform some operations and pass on variables and data between web pages. But I cannot use JSP or PHP to create HTML dynamically.

HTML

<nav>
  <a href="index.html">Index</a>
  <a href="contact.html">Contact</a>
</nav>
<section id="content"></section>

jQuery

$(function(){
  $('nav a').on('click', function(e) {
    var htmlFile = $(this).attr('href');
    e.preventDefault();
    $('#content').load(htmlFile);
  });
});
