Model-View-Controller in JavaScript

tl;dr: How does one implement MVC in JavaScript in a clean way?

I'm trying to implement MVC in JavaScript. I have googled and reorganized with my code countless times but have not found a suitable solution. (The code just doesn't "feel right".)

Here's how I'm going about it right now. It's incredibly complicated and is a pain to work with (but still better than the pile of code I had before). It has ugly workarounds that sort of defeat the purpose of MVC.

And behold, the mess, if you're really brave:

// Create a "main model"
var main = Model0();

function Model0() {
    // Create an associated view and store its methods in "view"
    var view = View0();

    // Create a submodel and pass it a function 
    // that will "subviewify" the submodel's view

    var model1 = Model1(function (subview) {
        view.subviewify(subview);
    });

    // Return model methods that can be used by 
    // the controller (the onchange handlers)
    return {
        'updateModel1': function (newValue) {
            model1.update(newValue);
        }

    };
}

function Model1(makeSubView) {
    var info = '';

    // Make an associated view and attach the view 
    // to the parent view using the passed function
    var view = View1();
    makeSubView(view.__view); // Dirty dirty


    // Return model methods that can be used by 
    // the parent model (and so the controller)
    return {
        'update': function (newValue) {
            info = newValue;

            // Notify the view of the new information
            view.events.value(info);
        }

    };
}

function View0() {
    var thing = document.getElementById('theDiv');
    var input = document.getElementById('theInput');

    // This is the "controller", bear with me
    input.onchange = function () {
        // Ugly, uses a global to contact the model

        main.updateModel1(this.value);
    };

    return {
        'events': {},

        // Adds a subview to this view.
        'subviewify': function (subview) {
            thing.appendChild(subview);
        }

    };
}

// This is a subview.
function View1() {

    var element = document.createElement('div');
    return {
        'events': {
            // When the value changes this is 

            // called so the view can be updated
            'value': function (newValue) {
                element.innerHTML = newValue;
            }
        },

        // ..Expose the DOM representation of the subview
        // so it can be attached to a parent view
        '__view': element
    };

}

How does one implement MVC in JavaScript in a cleaner way? How can I improve this system? Or is this the completely wrong way to go, should I follow another pattern?
