Dojo.byId() works but dijit.byId() doesn't?

This is because dojo. ById does what you want (find a DOM element with a particular ID), and dijit. ById doesn't do that.

This is because dojo. ById does what you want (find a DOM element with a particular ID), and dijit. ById doesn't do that.Dijit.

ById is a function for looking up a specific widget by its assigned name (id). This function is similar to dojo. ById but whereas dojo.

ById returns DOMNodes, dijit. ById returns a JavaScript object that is the instance of the widget.... dijit. ById and dojo.

ById are often confused, particularly by first time users. This function should be used when you wish to obtain a direct handle the the JavaScript object instance of your widget and access functions of that widget. http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/dijit/byId.html See also What the difference between dojo.

ById and dijit. ById?

Okay. Maybe this should be a separate question, but is there any easy way, then, to get the selected value of a select input? In jQuery, you just do $("#appointment_stylist_id").val().

– Jason Swett Apr 20 '11 at 0:10 Most of the time, dojo. ById('appointment_stylist_id'). Value will work.

Are you also using Dijit? See this question – M? LL Apr 20 '11 at 0:15 .

Value worked. Thanks. I'm not using Dijit.(I'd seen that question already but it didn't seem to apply.

Query :-) – peller Apr 20 '11 at 5:37 Wasn't use of attr() deprecated in 1.5 - In favour of the get/set helper methods. – Layke Apr 20 '117 at 12:00.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
